Lumley Chapel

The Lumley Chapel is a redundant Anglican church in the suburban village of Cheam, in the London Borough of Sutton, England.

[2][3] The Archbishop of Canterbury acquired the manor of Cheam in 1018, and it is thought that the church was founded soon after this date.

[8] In the north wall are fragments of a blocked window from the Saxon or the early Norman era.

[8] Inside the chapel are alabaster and marble monuments to John Lumley and his two wives, Lady Jane Fitzalan and Elizabeth Darcy.

[8] Detailed preparatory coloured drawings of the three monuments, made in about 1590, appear in Lumley's Red Velvet Book.

A mural monument exists in memory of the merchant, lawyer and philosopher James Boevey (1622–1696) and his third wife Margaretta (1638–1714).

On the south wall is a tablet to Ann, the five-year-old daughter of Rev William Gilpin, headmaster of Cheam School.

[8] Amongst the brasses are those to the Yerde and Fromond family who held the manor of East Cheam.
