About Whitehall Historic House

With a timber structure originally built around 1500, Whitehall Historic House is a Grade II* listed building set in the village of Cheam.

Following the recently completed National Lottery Heritage Fund refurbishment, and building on its 500 year history, we are delighted to once again invite visitors back to Whitehall to rediscover this incredible site for FREE. This Grade II* listed property is an impressive feature at the heart of the picturesque village of Cheam. From the permanent displays about the history of Whitehall, Cheam and the surrounding area, and of course the 500 year old building itself inside, to the distinct white weatherboarding, projecting upper storey, and sloping porch outside, Whitehall Historic House stands out as something special.

A variety of pieces created by members of the group are included, including a magnificent model of the leaning tower of Pisa made by Pasquale D'italia, which, standing at approximately 1.2m in height is an impressive sight! Walk-in visits are also available.

Combined with a new one way route and enhanced cleaning regime, including hand sanitizers on entry, we are pleased to be welcoming our visitors back safely.

Please note face coverings are a mandatory requirement for visitors to wear during their visit.

1 ticket per group per day (max. 6 from a single household).

What facilities are there at Whitehall Historic House?
