===Lumley Chapel=== {{main|Lumley Chapel}} [[File:The Lumley Chapel, Cheam - geograph.org.uk - 915125.jpg|thumb|left|Lumley Chapel]] Situated next to St Dunstan's Church, [[Lumley Chapel]] is the oldest standing building in the [[London Borough of Sutton]], and contains many notable monuments to local families. Following the construction of the new St Dunstan's church in 1864, the older church on the site was demolished, other than the east end of the chancel, which was retained to contain the monuments and [[monumental brasses|brasses]] from the old church. This remnant of the former church is now known as the Lumley Chapel.<ref name=vch>{{citation |url= http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43051#s5|title= Parishes: Cheam|access-date= 30 March 2011|editor1-last= Malden|editor1-first= H.
