CLARION COMMENT

THREE BIG OPENINGS here are three big openings taking place in the area this month. Firstly, Whitehall Museum in the heart of Cheam village was reopened on 16th June following a National Lottery funded restoration.

Sutton Council successfully found funding so that the building could be renovated (see page 8) and make it more of a destination for heritage tourism and a community space. A programme of activities will now be launched to encourage more people to use the museum and learn about their heritage.

Secondly, after a break of 12 years, the Belmont Village Post Office (see page 16) has again re-opened in The Pet Stop at 37 Station Road and will add a significant community resource, particularly when you consider the

T

number of bank closures. Belmont and South Cheam Residents Association has played a major part in lobbying for its return.

Finally, the Belmont Festival is opening its doors on Sunday 8th July 2018 and expecting over 6,000 visitors (see pages 4 and 26). The Festival is only run every other year so you mustn’t miss out on this opportunity to have a great family day out, as well as help to raise much needed funds for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. Last time the Festival raised £12,000 and the organisers would love to beat this total in July.

All three events will add considerably to the quality of life in the area and so I urge you to visit them!

WHITEHALL MUSEUM REOPENED Historic Tudor property reopened on 16 June following a National Lottery funded restoration n original Tudor building of historic importance has been fully restored after Sutton Council secured a grant of ÂŁ1.9m from the National Lottery.

Built around 1500, Whitehall Museum is a rare example of 16thcentury domestic architecture in the heart of Cheam Village, South London.

The Grade II* listed building, with its distinctive white-painted exterior, provides an unrivalled glimpse of local life in the Tudor period.

Sutton Council wanted to find a way to renovate the building and make it more of a destination for heritage tourism and as a community space. Its officers put together a compelling 200,000-word bid, along with securing

A

8 JULY 2018

planning permission for the renovations, which led to the successful National Lottery funding bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).

The grant meant vital repairs to the building could be carried out and a programme of activities will now be launched to encourage more people to use the museum and learn about their heritage.

Repair work to the building has involved tackling a damp problem and removing some intrusive 20th-century fixtures, while other original features have been restored.

Internal adaptations and two new extensions, including a new lift and stairs, have significantly increased access for all into and around the building.

WHITEHALL MUSEUM REOPENED

Visitors of all ages can expect a sensory experience when moving between the various Whitehall rooms.

A short animation film aimed at children narrated by comedian Jon Holmes of Horrible Histories fame provides a fun and educational timeline of the stone age to the period when Whitehall was built. Elsewhere the mood and sound theme continues with musical recordings recorded on instruments that would have been consistent with the particular era. An audio tour is currently being developed that will ensure programme

content is regularly refreshed in forthcoming years.

A new schools programme will tie in with a local curriculum exploring local history, environmental awareness and sustainability, comparing the carbon footprint of a Tudor home to a modern house. The restoration work has also created an additional meeting space for local groups and school visits.

Councillor Manual Abellan, Chair of Sutton Council’s Environment and Neighbourhood Committee, said: “Whitehall Historic House is a heritage site of national importance and provides a valuable insight into the past. It is fascinating to see how the building has changed over the years with many different owners. I am delighted that thanks to the National Lottery we are now able to ensure the building’s future and make it more accessible than ever before to visitors from around the world, with improved facilities and new exhibitions.”

Whitehall Museum is a treasure trove of Sutton’s local history, one which I hope many more people will now discover.”

LOCAL LEGAL ADVICE

MARRIAGE VS COHABITATION U N D E R S TA N D I N G Y O U R L E G A L R I G H T S arriage is not for everyone and although there have been changes in the law allowing same sex couples to marry, many couples still regard it as oldfashioned and believe they have no requirement for “a piece of paper” to confirm their commitment to each other.

However, the common law husband or wife is a myth and often, it is only when a relationship breaks down that unmarried partners or cohabitees discover that the law treats them very differently to married couples.

When looking at how to distribute a family’s assets on divorce, a spouse can call upon the matrimonial law to look at all relevant circumstances of the relationship both during and after the marriage.

The goal is to seek a result that is fair to both spouses with the welfare of the children being treated as a primary consideration. The future living arrangements of all involved will be a concern as will the financial position of each spouse following the divorce.

The situation for a cohabitee is very different and the fact that a relationship existed is irrelevant. Frequently, the only issue to resolve in a breakdown of a cohabiting relationship is what happens to the home.

Unless stated otherwise, former cohabitants will be left relying on the principles of property law alone to divide up their home and property and this can

M

12 JULY 2018

be harsh, even though there may be children to re-house. In the absence of a written agreement, contributions (financial or otherwise) can be considered but the end result could be very different to each party’s expectations and the element of fairness is non-existent.

Furthermore, a former cohabitee cannot claim maintenance for themselves, even as a full- time carer for the children.

It is also worth noting that as a spouse, you have an automatic right of inheritance if a partner dies without leaving a will. As cohabitees, there is no such presumption and you may be left having to make a claim against a loved one’s estate if you were financially reliant upon them.

Illness can also be a concern. Unlike a spouse, as a cohabitee, you have no legal right to make care decisions for the other and close relatives may be called upon to do so. A Lasting Power of Attorney appointing your partner to make decisions could avoid this.

ROTARY MAY FAIR THE Community Event was held on May 28th at Cheam Recreation Ground and organised by Cheam and Sutton Rotary

nce again, the Rotary May Fair was a great success in the beautiful sunshine, bringing the community out in force on May Bank Holiday Monday.

With over 5,000 attendees, the many activities and the great displays from the many local groups in the Centre Arena were a highlight. These included shows

by The O’Donnell School of Irish Dancing, Cheam Gym Club, Simon Ratzker,- Bubbleologist, Crystals Elite Cheerleaders, Fighting Fit Martial Arts, Sutton United Football Club Mini games and Henfolds Birds of Prey. “Lady” the Peregrine Falcon added extra excitement and went on a longer journey than

O

planned, but she was safe and returned during the show.

Cheam and Sutton Rotary President Howard Smith said of the day: “We pride ourselves on running a true community event, that so many have contributed to.

It is wonderful to see the young people of the local groups giving such great displays. Having spent the last five months organising the Rotary May Fair we were delighted to see the community come out in force. We received a tremendous amount of positive feedback from the visitors on the day.”

Other activities included a Fun Fair, Children’s Corner, Punch and Judy, Radio Jackie, 40 stalls and not forgetting

ROTARY MAY FAIR

the Food Court and the Beer Tent… just what the parents needed on this warm day.

Marcel Markan, the Chairman of the Fair Committee, declared: “The main aim of the Fair is to provide a fun day for our community while we raise money for charity, and also create an opportunity for other charity groups to raise money for their own causes as well. We have been organising the Rotary May Fair

which started life in 1977 as the Cheam Carnival and Fair, for 42 years now. And the event has grown over the years to become THE community event of Sutton and Cheam.”

Cheam and Sutton Rotary are happy to announce that they have raised 5,000 pounds at this year’s Rotary May Fair and they will be presenting Sutton Mencap with the proceeds at a ceremony at the end of the month.

THE HISTORY OF THE BELMONT POST OFFICE Belmont has had a Post office for 115 years although not always on the same site

elmont has had a Post Office for 115 years although not always on the same site. In the late 19th century, the only buildings of significance in Belmont were the parade in Brighton Road.

These adjoined the original California Public House. This was built in 1860 on the site of an old alehouse by John Gibbons when he returned from the California Gold Rush (hence its name).

The first Post Office opened in the Brighton Road around 1890. It operated from the General Stores run by Mr W. H. Brain on the corner of Brighton Road and Downs Road. The building still exists today as offices.

B

16 JULY 2018

The picture (above) was taken in 1903 looking north along Brighton Road. (notice the absence of cars!)

With the advent of the “Belmont Estate” and the construction of Station Road, the centre of Belmont began to move to the western side of the railway line and away from Brighton Road.

The four shops shown in the picture below were built between 1874 and 1884 and were the earliest shops to be opened in Belmont’s new Station Road.

They were known as The Parade.

In around 1909 the Post Office moved from Brighton Road where it had operated for 20 years to The Creamery (top right) which was then 4

contracting its branch network and there was little enthusiasm in the organisation for re-opening the branch.

This was a great loss to Belmont as the nearest Post Office was over a 1 mile away and has been difficult for Belmont residents to reach by public transport.

However, it is clear that the Post Office is now undergoing a significant renaissance as a community resource particularly given the closure of many bank branches. While it had been thought that the internet would remove the need for many of the traditional service provided by sub-post offices, in fact internet shopping and other online services are increasing demand for postal delivery and collection services.

After a break of 12 years, we are delighted that the Belmont Village Post Office has again re-opened in The Pet 18 JULY 2018

IT ALL BEGINS WITH WATER

heam-based Child Aid Lanka Celebrates 20 years of Charitable Work in Sri Lanka. Child Aid Lanka was formed in 1998 to raise funds to help the forgotten and underprivileged children in the city of Colombo, Sri Lanka, many of whom had suffered abuse and were without the daily comforts that every child has the right to deserve.

An independent, voluntary charity, the association Child Aid Lanka works hard to maintain the impetus of fund-raising with communitybased organisations and carefully selected partners to ensure that donations are directed effectively to help those children most in need.

Providing clean, sustainable sources of water for the displaced

24 JULY 2018

families and poorer communities in Sri Lanka is the aim of this charity, based in Cheam. Child Aid Lanka funds projects to install wells for clean drinking water and crop cultivation, which in turn allows for the education of their children and thus breaking the cycle of poverty.

Child Aid Lanka has benefited greatly from the support of Rotary clubs in Great Britain with donations and worked tirelessly to secure a Rotary Foundation Global Grant, which is an extraordinary achievement by this small team of non-salaried trustees.

ROTARY KIDS OUT DAY

nce again your local Rotary Club, Nonsuch Rotary, took local disadvantaged children to Chessington World of Adventures. Rotary in Great Britain started this national event in 1990 and each year some 10,000 Rotary volunteers take over 25,000 children to local attractions. Since 1990 over 695,000 children have been given a fun day out.

Nonsuch Rotary has always taken part, and this year nine Rotarians took eighteen disadvantaged children from Foresters Primary School, which supports children with autism and Rushy Meadow School which helps children with impaired hearing.

It is just wonderful to see and hear the excitement of the children as we drive them to Chessington World of Adventures, only surpassed when we pick them up and hear of all the fun they have enjoyed.

Constantly on tour and constantly recording. Emma writes from the heart, about life's losses, happiness and hope.

This makes her lyrics instantly relatable and her catchy songs just get into your heart. Last year she supported Wet Wet Wet on their final tour and has just finished a series of dates with Sarah Darling. She’s no stranger to big festivals either having played BBCs Festival in a day at Hyde Park and C2C at the O2.

Emma Knows personally the cancer journey, having lost her mum to the disease in 2012 and from the first time we met her she’s been eager to be involved with the Royal Marsden, we’re really proud that she’s here with us today. www.emmastevensmusic.com Holloway Road The first thing you notice about Holloway Road’s is that they don’t look like country music boys; more baseball caps and trainers than Stetsons and 28 JULY 2018

boots. Their sound sits between the country-pop chart and the Nashville songwriting they both grew up listening to. Holloway Road have spent the last two years playing throughout the UK & Europe, honing their live show.

Friends Who Care The Friends of Nonsuch started in 1991 when there was an attempt to turn Nonsuch Park into a golf course with Nonsuch Mansion as a club house.

Local opposition to this idea was so strong that the plans were abandoned and the Park remained as it was intended to be Âą a place for the enjoyment of the public and with access for everyone .

To help preserve this lovely open space the Friends of Nonsuch renovated and restored the Mansion kitchen and have worked tirelessly since then to create the ÂľService WingÂś as it would have been in the mid-1800s.

The Museum opened in 1993 and each year since it has been improved and expanded. We now have the dairy, sculleries, kitchen, larders and laundries, an exhibition room and a room for social events.

See also our award winning model of Nonsuch Palace in the Gallery where you will learn about the story of how the Palace was built and the excavation that uncovered it in 1959.
