Sutton heritage mosaic, Public mosaic in Sutton High Street, England

The Sutton Heritage Mosaic spans 9 meters high and 5 meters wide, featuring nineteen black and white panels depicting local historical scenes.

The central panel portrays Henry VIII's Nonsuch Palace alongside heraldic symbols representing local families including Carew, Gaynesford, and Lumley families.

Artists Rob Turner and Gary Drostle created this extensive wall artwork in 1994, incorporating images of Honeywood House and All Saints Church in Carshalton Village.

The mosaic includes an information plaque installed in 2011 that explains each panel's content and significance to visitors and local residents.

The artwork contains more than 100,000 individual vitreous ceramic pieces that required over 1,500 hours to assemble using a reverse studio technique.
