Whitehall, House museum in Cheam, England
The timber-framed structure in Cheam Village features architectural elements from Tudor, Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian construction periods throughout its rooms and galleries.
Built around 1500 as a yeoman farmer's house, Whitehall later served Queen Elizabeth I for informal council meetings while she hunted near Nonsuch Palace.
The museum displays collections of artifacts, photographs, and documents that detail the evolution of Cheam's community from medieval times through the present day.
Located at 1 Malden Road, the museum opens Thursday and Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM and Saturday from noon to 4 PM with free admission.
The property housed the Cheam School from 1645, which holds the distinction of being the oldest private educational institution in England.
