The only church in the Guildford diocese of the Church of England to be located in the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames, the recently refurbished church has a history which goes back to Norman times and it was first mentioned in the records of Merton Priory of 1174.
Parking is available in the car park adjacent to the British Legion hall at the junction of Church Lane and Stokesby Road; the 467 bus from both Epsom and Ewell, and the 71 bus from both Surbiton and Kingston, pass the church which is a short walk up Garrison Lane from Chessington South railway station.
