Residents might wish to consider a visit soon to Nonsuch Museum, at Nonsuch Mansion House at the other end of the borough, in Nonsuch Park near Cheam Village.  The Service Museum is open on Sundays 14th and 28th April from 2pm to 5pm.  Last entry at 4:30pm. You can visit the old kitchens, the larder, scullery, laundry and game larder.  It is fascinating to see what a Victorian service wing would have looked like.  Entrance is Free.  http://www.friendsofnonsuch.co.uk/service.htm

The amazing model of Henry VIII’s Nonsuch Palace in the Nonsuch Gallery is open  on Sunday 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th April.  Entrance is £2.50. The model is architecturally correct and of national importance.  http://www.friendsofnonsuch.co.uk/gallery.htm.   Both the Service Wing Museum and Nonsuch Palace Gallery are run by Friends of Nonsuch.  This group of volunteers  have been restoring the Service Wing of the house and have been giving donations which have done much to enhance the house and formal gardens.  http://www.friendsofnonsuch.co.uk/index.html
