I love being surrounded by all the history at Charlton House. Discovering what lay behind the door to the vault, the contents of which were unknown for years, was the highlight of our year at the House.

Hakeem Shittu lives locally, and has worked at Charlton House since 2004. He is married with three children.
I have chosen this detail from the fireplace in the White Room on the second floor at Charlton House. I like this image because of the style in which the King represented, travelling on a chariot during the Jacobean period.
Abayomi Lawal
VISITOR ASSISTANT - CHARLTON HOUSE
Abayomi Lawal has worked at Charlton House since 2005. He is responsible for implementing the day to day running of events in the building. He deals with events setup, enquiries and viewings for potential bookings such as meetings, conferences, weddings, clubs, societies, religious groups and paranormal events. He is a First Aider and Security Industry Authority (SIA) certified.
My favourite part of Charlton House is the White Room, which contains a marble replica and magnificent fireplace with biblical and classical themes. It was made of plaster but was painted to look like marble in 1980 during a TV production.
