St Mary the Virgin Churchyard, Chessington (also known as Chessington Parish Church)

Introduction

The churchyard has gravestones among grass, and is hedged to the road, with a gate and overthrow erected in memory of Gertrude Field in 1980. Trees include a number of large evergreens and two yews. In the mid-19th century access to the church was via footpaths and lanes, but it is now surrounded by a 20th-century housing estate.
