CELEBRATING OUR NEW STATUS AS A MUSEUM
Honeywood 20th December 2007

In October 2007 Sutton Council won formal accreditation from the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (the MLA) for Honeywood in Carshalton, Whitehall in Cheam, and Little Holland House in Carshalton Beeches. With this seal of approval the Council will be able to apply for extra funding to upgrade facilities, ensuring that the Borough's collections are secure for future generations to enjoy. The Council's 'Heritage Service' has now been re-branded the 'Sutton Museum and Heritage Service'.
An invited group of staff, supporters and friends got together at Honeywood Museum in December to mark the occasion.
