Archaeological Excavation at Honeywood
(Part of Take Part, Take Pride)
Wednesday 14th-Sunday 18th July
11am-5pm
Come and
see an excavation in progress to explore the early history of Honeywood.
The beginnings of Honeywood are a mystery. The house was built in the 17th
century across streams flowing from springs by the Greyhound. We are
aware of several chalk foundations around the site and the excavation
aims to find out what these were for and throw light on why Honeywood
was built in such a wet place.
We also want to get a better understanding of the layout of the
Edwardian garden.
The partnering organisations are Carshalton & District History &
Archaeology Society, the Friends of Honeywood Museum and Sutton Museum
Service
Inside
Honeywood
Museum you can take the archaeologist’s challenge and try to piece the
broken plate together, practice your recording and drawing skills by
doing a grid drawing, dig in the archaeology boxes, make yourself a
policeman’s helmet and a puppy puppet
