*************

Beddington is a suburban settlement in the London Borough of Sutton on the boundary with the London Borough of Croydon. Beddington is formed from a village of the same name which until early the 20th century still included land which became termed entirely as Wallington. The BedZED low energy housing estate (or Beddington Zero Energy Development) is, in non-ecclesiastical terms, in the neighbouring locality of Hackbridge. The latter was in the 13th century shown on local maps as Hakebrug, and named after a bridge on the River Wandle. The locality has a landscaped wooded park at Beddington Park - also known as Carew Manor; and a nature reserve and sewage treatment works in the centre and to the north of its area respectively.

The Grade II* listed 14th Century flint parish church of St Mary's occupies a prominent position in Beddington Park, immediately south of what is now Carew Manor School. It contains an organ screen by William Morris. The church is designated at Grade II* for the following principal reasons:^[10]

• It has substantial amounts of fabric from the 14th and 15th centuries
• It was extensively restored and provided with an extremely elaborate and interesting mid-Victorian decorative scheme.
• It has monuments and other fixtures of importance from circa 1200 to the 20th century, including font and Carew tombs.
• The Morris and Co. organ is of special note, and the Last Judgment reredos is unusual.
