MenuCheam, Surrey
Cheam is a large suburban village in Surrey. It is listed in Domesday as 'Ceiham'. It grew as two settlements, Cheam and Lower Cheam. Both manors were acquired by Henry VIII after commissioning Nonsuch Palace in the neighbouring parish of Cuddington in 1538. Both villages remained rural until suburban development spread from Sutton during the inter-war period, eventually making Cheam one large suburban village, contiguous with Sutton. The current St Dunstan's Church dates from 1864, replacing an 11th-century church, part of the chancel of which was retained as Lumley Chapel. Whitehall is a mediæval hall house built c.1500. The Old Farmhouse and the Old Cottage both date back to the 15th century. The village is within the council area of Sutton.
