Reflecting and adapting to the changing world around it for nearly 500 years

At nearly 500 years old Sutton House is one of the oldest special places the National Trust looks after. Sutton House, in east London, has survived such a long time because it has adapted to and reflected the changing world around it. Once a Tudor country house for a courtier of King Henry VIII, through the centuries Sutton House has been a home to many, several schools, offices and finally an anarcho-punk squat in mid 1980s.
Then, in the late 1980s, Sutton House was saved from development into luxury housing by local people who formed the Save Sutton House Campaign, they campaigned for Sutton House to be opened up to the public for community engagement and learning purposes. And, today it continues to thrive by adapting to and reflecting the world around it.
