Morden Hall Park is undergoing a restoration

Morden Hall Park in London Borough of Merton, is a 125 acre green oasis in the heart of suburbia and home to a rare surviving example of a 19th-century agricultural estate, has been awarded a confirmed 990,000* Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) grant it was announced earlier this month.

Morden Hall Park, once owned by the Hatfeild family who made their fortune from snuff milling in the 18th-century is now run by the National Trust and forms part of the Wandle Valley Conservation Area. The park has a strong industrial, social, cultural and economic heritage.

The HLF grant will go towards the 2.5m Heart of the Park project. This will see important buildings, such as the 19th century stable yard and the remaining waterwheel renovated and conserved. The project will allow visitor access to the 19th-century stable yard for the first time in 130 years, as well as creating a centre for sustainable renovation. The conservation of the waterwheel will help explain the river Wandle's industrial heritage.
