- Cheam, Surrey (Lumley Chapel (St Dunstan's))
Lumley Chapel, the oldest building in Cheam, can be found in St Dunstan’s churchyard and is the only surviving remnant of a 900-year-old building that once stood on this site.
John Lumley, a Catholic aristocrat and art collector, refurbished the building as a burial place for himself and his two wives in the late 16th-century.
Opulent stone monuments fill the walls and a huge tomb near the door shows Lumley’s first wife Jane Fitzalan, carved in alabaster, wearing a starched ruff and headdress, her gown flowing as she kneels in prayer.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
There are two steps down into the chapel. Lighting comes on automatically on entry.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
