The Parish of St Mary the Virgin, Chessington is the Church of England Parish Church of Chessington, within the Diocese of Guildford.
The church of St Mary’s has stood on its hilltop position, at the corner of Church Lane and Garrison Lane, in Chessington since the twelfth century. The present chancel was once the original tiny church, reputedly visited by knights on their way to the crusades, who carved crosses at the side of the door that now leads to the vestry.
St Mary’s is a grade II listed building first mentioned in the Merton Priory records of 1174. There was major restoration works in 1854 and the south aisle was added in 1870. We have once again in 2012 begun a programme of restoration and redecoration.
