IntroductionThe Carshalton and District History and Archaeology Society, originally called the “Carshalton Historical Society” and later called the “Beddington, Carshalton and Wallington Society” was founded in 1920.
Local Excavations – Excavations are periodically carried out Carew Manor and its Gardens (under the direction of John Phillips) and St Philomena’s School and All Saints Church (directed by Andrew Skelton, previously a member).
Conservation and Preservation – The Society’s Research and Preservation Committee works to ensure the preservation of buildings of local interest and historical value and areas of scenic beauty. This committee has a representative on CAAGS (Conservation Areas Advisory Consultative Group Sutton) set up by the London Borough of Sutton. Planning applications within conservation areas are considered and recommendations made.
