Whitehall as it looks today
Whitehall, the historic house museum situated in a conservation area, amidst delightful weather-boarded cottages in Cheam Village, is a shining example of a joint community project, for whilst the building is owned, maintained and managed by the London Borough of Sutton, through the Museum and Heritage Division, it opens to the public with the help of The Friends of Whitehall, a voluntary organisation which makes an annual financial contribution towards the cost of the House and has funded numerous purchases within the House as well as supplying willing hands for stewarding, baking cakes, serving teas and maintaining the gardens.
The Friends Christmas Draw for luxury Christmas hampers took place at Whitehall on Sunday 16th December. Congratulations to the winners First Prize - Mrs. Chambers of Carshalton Second Prize - Killick Martin of Basildon Third Prize - Mrs. P. Roberts of Sutton
