Sutton House, owned by the National Trust, is the oldest domestic residence in the East End of London. In October 2003, it was again the only NT venue to hold a series of events to celebrate Black History Month.

Its activities included an interactive Black Londoners history mystery trail, storytelling workshops for people aged 55+, a vibrant series of school visits and a collaborative performance by local students of the story of Mary Seacole, a Jamaican nurse who tended troops in the Crimean War.
