Beddington Place

Also known as, or recorded in historical documents as; Carew Manor

In the civil parish of Sutton And Cheam.
In the historic county of Surrey (Modern Authority of London Borough of Sutton, 1974 county of Greater London).

Manor house forfeited by Nicholas Carew to Henry VIII. Henry stayed here several times before the fall of Carew and afterwards. There was a standing wardrobe (storage repository) here recorded in the inventory taken at the time of the kings death. The building seems to have returned to Carew family ownership. The house now consists of a centre occupied by the Great Hall with 2 C19 long end wings which together with the present casing to the Great Hall were erected after a fire of May 1865 which destroyed the North wing and other parts of the building. Before this, the house had been practically rebuilt about the years 1709-10 on the old C16 plan
