Remains Of Old Church Of St Dunstan, Now Known As The Lumley Chapel

The remains of the Old Church of St Dunstan, now known as The Lumley Chapel, date back to the 12th century. The structure is built of rubble stone with a roughcast finish and features a gabled tile roof. On the south side, there are remnants of a 13th-century arcade that is now blocked, while the north side has blocked round-headed windows from the 12th century. The east window has been renewed in the 15th century. Inside, there is a notable late 16th-century moulded plaster ceiling with interlacing ribs that rise from an ornamental cornice. The chapel houses several significant monuments and brasses, including those of Lord Lumley from 1609, Joan Lady Lumley from the late 16th century, Elizabeth Lady Lumley from the early 17th century, Frances Peirson from 1693, James Bovey from 1695, and others. The brasses include John Compton from 1450 and his wife Joan from 1458, William Wooddward from 1459, Bartholomew Fromond from 1579, Michael Denys from 1578, Thomas Fromond from 1513, and Edmund Barret from 1631, among others. The Lumley Chapel is part of a group that includes Nos 1 to 4 Church Road, the Lychgate, the Church of St Dunstan, the boundary wall to the former West Cheam Manor House, Church Farm Lane, and Church Farm House on Springclose Lane.
