Lumley Chapel, Cheam

This pop-up event has been organised by Andrew Skelton and John Phillips. It is related to the forthcoming Symposium (Tombs of the Aristocracy, August 2025) in that it features further monuments created by John Lord Lumley, connected to the Fitzalan family whose monuments we will see in the Fitzalan Chapel at Arundel Castle during the Symposium. This visit will take in the small medieval gem that is the Lumley Chapel (Churches Conservation Trust), as well as the nearby Whitehall Historic House (London Borough of Sutton Heritage Service), which is of Tudor origins, where there will be a tour and talk about John Lord Lumley’s garden at Nonsuch Palace.
Please note that there are two downward steps to enter the Lumley Chapel.
The cost is £10 per person. Please email churchmonuments[at]gmail.com to register your interest and for payment information.
