Historical Description
Cheam was anciently spelt Chieham; it has been varied to Ceiham, Chayham, and Cheyham, and has, for about two centuries past, been generally written Cheam. The village is situated upon an eminence, commanding an extensive prospect. The manor-house of East Cheam, about a mile and a half from the village, towards Sutton, Mr. Lysons describes to he an ancient structure, built by Thomas Fromound, who married the daughter and heiress of John Yerde, lessee of the manor, under Archbishop Cranmer. "In the hall window (he says) are the arms of Yerde impaled by Elenbridge. The hall remains in its original form; the upper part being surrounded by an open wooden gallery: adjoining the hall are the buttery and cellar, with ancient doors; in the parlour is some rich mantled carving. The chapel is converted into a billiard room."
Cheam Church is dedicated to St. Dunstan. It was burnt by lightning in the year 1639, but the injury it received was only partial, as the tower and some parts of the church, which are of prior date, still remain. The form of the building, however, has been so changed, that no conjecture can be formed of the date of its structure. The tower, which is built of flint and stone, is low, square, and embattled.
There is a small chapel at the south-east corner of the church, dedicated to St. Mary, which was built prior to the year 1449, as appears from the will of John Yerde, who directs his body to be buried therein; his tomb is still to be seen, with an inscription, on a brass plate, much worn. There are small figures of himself and his wife Ann, who died in 1453. There are also several other ancient memorials, and at the east of the chancel, an aisle built by John, Lord Lumley, in 1592, as a burial place for his family. The roof is enriched with pendant ornaments; against the north wall is the monument of Lord Lumley, and on a large tablet, supported by Corinthian columns, and surrounded with coats of arms of the Lumleys, and families allied to them by marriage, is a long Latin inscription.
Camden speaks of this nobleman as a man of the strictest virtue and integrity; and says, that in his old age he was a most complete pattern of true nobility.
On the south side of Lumley’s chancel is a stately monument of marble, to the memory of Jane, Lady Lumley. The upper part of it exhibits her own effigies in basso-relievo; beneath is an altar-tomb of very large dimensions; on the front, which is divided into two compartments, are the figures of her daughter and two sons, kneeling; and at each end are the arms and quarterings of Fitz-alan and Lumley. The tomb is covered with a slab of black marble, with an inscription, in Latin, round the edge.
On the north side of the same chancel is the monument of Lord Lumley’s second wife; her effigies lie at full length, under an arch, the ceiling of which is chequered with cinquefoils and popinjays.
Jane, Lady Lumley, buried in the chancel of Cheam Church, translated the Iphigenia of Euripides, and some of the Orations of Isocrates, into English. She died in 1557. Of six successive rectors of Cheam, between 1581 and 1622, five became bishops.
On one of the pillars of the nave is a neat marble tablet, with an inscription to the memory of Sir Joseph Yates, Knight, one of the justices of the King’s Bench in 1764, and afterwards of the Common Pleas. He died 7th June, 1770.
A spring, called the Bonne Eau, or good water (probably from the Normans), in a field near Cheam church, is remarkable for its temporary and occasional rising.
Adjoining the parish of Cheam is the site of the village of Cuddington, which now no longer exists. In the 18th Henry VIII. the manor came into the possession of that monarch, who, admiring the situation of the village, rebuilt the manor-house, and converted it into a palace; called afterwards, from its splendour and magnificence, Nonsuch. Camden says, "It is built with so much splendour and elegance, that it stands a monument of art, and you would think the whole science of architecture exhausted on this building. It has such a profusion of animated statues, and finished pieces of art, rivalling the monuments of ancient Rome itself, that it justly has and maintains its name from thence, as Leland sings; —
Hanc quia non habent similem Laudare Britanni Saepe solent nullique parem cognomine dicunt.
"Unrivall’d in design the Britons tell
The wondrous praises of this nonpareil."
A curious and authentic account of this celebrated palace was given by Heutzner, a German, who visited England in the reign of queen Elizabeth; it was printed by the late Earl of Orford, at Strawberry Hill, in 1757, with a translation, and is as follows.
"Nonsuch, a royal retreat, built by Henry VIII. with an excess of magnificence and elegance, even to ostentation; one would imagine every thing that architecture can perform to have been employed in this one work; there are every where so many statues that seem to breathe, so many miracles of consummate art, so many casts that rival even the perfection of Roman antiquity, that it may well obtain and justify its name of Nonsuch, being without an equal, or as the poet sings:
‘ This, which no equal has in art or fame,
Britons deservedly do Nonsuch name. ’
"The palace itself is so encompassed with parks full of deer, delicious gardens, groves ornamented with trellis-work, cabinets of verdure, and walks so embrowned by trees, that it seems to be a place pitched on by Pleasure herself to dwell in along with Health.
"In the pleasure and artificial gardens are many columns and pyramids of marble; two fountains, that spout water one round the other like a pyramid, Upon which are perched small birds, that stream Water out of their bills. In the Grove of Diana is a very agreeable fountain, with Acteon turned into a stag, as he was sprinkled by the goddess and her nymphs, with inscriptions. There is besides another pyramid of marble, full of concealed pipes, which spirt upon all who come within their reach."
In the survey taken by order of the parliament in 1650, the House of Nonsuch is described as consisting of "a fayer, strong, and large structure, a building of freestone, of two large stories high, well wrought and battled with stone, and covered with blue slate, standing round a court of 150 feet long and 132 feet broad, paved with stone, commonly called the outward court; a gate-house, leading into the outward court aforesaid, being a building very strong and graceful, being three stories high, leaded over head, battled and turretted, in every of the four corners thereof, consisting also of another very faire and curious structure or building, of two stories high, the lower story whereof is of a very good and well wrought freestone, and the higher of wood, richly adorned and set forth and garnished with variety of statues, pictures, and other antick forms, of excellent art and workmanship, and of no small cost; all which building lying almost upon a square is covered with blue slate, and encloseth one faire and large court, of 137 foote broad and 116 foote long, all paved with freestone, commonly called the inner court. Memorandum: That the inner court stands higher than the outward court by an ascent of 80 steps, leading therefrom through a gate-house of freestone, three stories high, leaded and turretted in the four corners. The last mentioned gate-house, standing between the inward and outward court, is of most excellent workmanship, and a special ornament to Nonsuch House. On the east and west corners of the inner court building are placed two large and well-built turrets of five stories, each of them containing five rooms, the highest of which rooms, together with the lanthorns of the same, are covered with lead, and battled round with frames of wood covered with lead. These turrets command the prospect and view of both the parks of Nonsuch, and most of the country round about, and are the chief ornaments of Nonsuch House." The materials of the house were valued at 70201l. Not a vestige is now standing, but the coloured bricks, stones, &c. plentifully introduced into the houses and garden walls of Cheam, prove that the materials have not been entirely destroyed.
Queen Mary granted the manor of Cuddington to Henry Earl of Arundel, who finished the building begun by Henry VIII. During the life of this nobleman Queen Elizabeth was frequently at Nonsuch. Charles II. granted the palace to the Duchess of Cleveland, who pulled it down, and disparked the land, which comprised about 671 acres. Leland, speaking of Cuddington, says, "Crompton, of London, hath a close by Codington, in Southerey, wher the king buildeth. In this close is a vaine of fine yerth, to make molds for goldesmithes and casters of metal, that a load of it is sold for a croune of golde. Like yerth to this is not found in all Englande."
CHEAM (anciently called Cheyham) is a parish, station on the Epsom branch of the London, Brighton and South Coast railway and village, 12 miles by road and 16 by rail from London, 3 north-east from Epsom and 6 south-east from Kingston, on the road from Sutton to Ewell, situated at the foot of the Banstead Downs, in the Mid division of the county, Wallington hundred, Epsom petty sessional division, union and county court district, Beddington rural deanery, Kingston archdeaconry and Rochester diocese. The parish extends from Banstead Downs to Worcester Park. The church of St. Dunstan is a handsome structure of Kentish rag in the Early English style, rebuilt in 1864, at a cost of £7,000, and consists of apsidal chancel, nave, aisles, south porch and a tower on the north-west, with spire, containing a clock and 6 bells: there are nine memorial windows: the chancel of the old church, which still stands in the churchyard, contains a monument, with kneeling effigy, in low relief, to Jane (Fitzalan), Lady Lumley, who translated into English the “Iphigenia” of Euripides and some of the writings of Isocrates; she died in 1557; the lower part of the monument forms an altar-tomb of marble and alabaster, adorned with kneeling figures of children and shields of arms: there is also a mural monument of white marble to John, Lord Lumley, her husband, who Sat. on the trial of Mary Queen of Scots, and died 11 April, 1609; the monument consists of a base, from which rise two Corinthian columns supporting an enriched cornice, and around the inscription are 19 shields of arms: there is a third monument to Elizabeth, Lady Lumley, with a recumbent effigy; and a palimpsest brass with effigies to Thomas Fromond, ob. 1542, Elizabeth his wife, and 10 children: and there are also several other old tombs: the church contains 580 sittings, 184 being free. The register dates from the year 1538. The living is a rectory, average tithe rent-charge £498, net income £471, with 23 acres of glebe and residence, in the gift of St. John’s College, Oxford, and held since 1867 by the Rev. Charles Hobbes Rice B.D. and formerly fellow of that college and rural dean of Beddington. Between 1581 and 1662 five out of six rectors of Cheam became bishops. Belmont Church Mission-room is in Station road. There is a Baptist chapel here and a Primitive Methodist chapel in Longfellow road. The charities amount to £90 yearly. In this parish is a timber structure called “The Council House,” which is supposed to have been used for that purpose by Queen Elizabeth when she resided at Nonsuch; a wall divides the garden attached to it from a carpenter’s shop, formerly part of the building, and under the shop is a vault cut out of the sandstone rock, 27 feet long, 14 feet broad and 11 feet high, having a descent of 23 steps; at the end of this another flight of steps leads to a smaller crypt: the original intent of these vaults is not known; but tradition has it that a Mr. Bovey, who died here about 1700, made use of them for coining money and that he spent a great part of his time in this way: in 1820 a bricklayer, employed to repair the pavement of the washhouse belonging to this dwelling, found a vault arched over, and in it an iron chest, which he carried away, informing the inhabitants that it contained nothing; but, says the “History of Surrey,” from being a poor man, he soon after bought houses at Sutton. Humphrey Lloyd, the celebrated antiquary and M.P. for Denbigh, once resided in the Manor House. The principal landowners are the Rev. Edward William Northay M.A. of Epsom, who is lord of the manor, and the trustees of the late John Hilbert Tate esq. The soil of the southern portion is sand and the northern portion clay, in which is pipe clay. The chief crops are wheat, barley, oats, potatoes, beans and peas. The area is 1,908 acres; rateable value, £12,102; the population in 1881 was 2,117.
