List of places of worship in Tandridge District

Religious buildings dating from every age between the Norman era and the present are found across the area, which is characterised by small towns and ancient hamlets.

A range of architectural styles and materials are represented: from "Surrey's only Perpendicular Gothic church of any size or pretension" (at Lingfield)[1] to small weatherboarded buildings, tin tabernacles and modern brick chapels.

As of 2022[update], 61 places of worship are in use in the district and a further 13 former churches and chapels no longer hold religious services but survive in alternative uses.

Jehovah's Witnesses and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints both have large places of worship of regional importance in the district.

[5] Tandridge is the easternmost of the 11 districts in Surrey, an inland county in southeast England immediately south of London.

Caterham is the largest town with 31,000 people, Oxted (which is part of a larger urban area with neighbouring Hurst Green and Limpsfield) has 11,000, and more than half the population lives in the suburbanised northern part of the district which includes these towns and nearby Warlingham, Whyteleafe and Woldingham.

Anglican churches with 12th-century or older origins include those at Bletchingley,[11] Burstow,[12] Chelsham,[13] Horne[14] and Nutfield;[14] many have been rebuilt and restored to some extent, but the survival of ancient fabric is common.

Baptist worship has taken place at Dormansland since 1792, and the church (which occupies a building dating from 1817)[20] helped to found several others in the area—such as those at Lingfield and Smallfield (both now closed).

[21] The isolated Pains Hill Chapel near Limpsfield has existed since 1823,[22] and since World War II Evangelical congregations have developed in Hurst Green[23] and Smallfield.

[25] The main towns have places of worship serving a wider variety of denominations: the Congregational Federation can be found in Caterham,[26] Oxted has an Open Brethren Gospel Hall,[27] and a Christian Science church,[28] and both places support Roman Catholic and United Reformed congregations.

[32] Caterham's chapel, registered in 1904,[33] is still in use; Warlingham's was replaced by a new building on the same site in 1961;[34] Lingfield's is now in secular use; and the other two do not survive.

[47] Occasional Catholic Masses were held for many years at the Anglican church in Tatsfield, which was covered by the parish of Oxted and Warlingham,[48] but these had ceased by 2019.
