List of places of worship in Elmbridge facts for kids

The Baptist chapel in Esher was built in 1869.

Elmbridge, a part of Surrey, England, is home to over 60 places where people have gathered to worship. These include churches, chapels, and meeting houses. About 48 of these buildings are still used for religious purposes by different Christian denominations. There are also two synagogues for Jewish people. Another 12 buildings used to be places of worship but are now used for other things.

Elmbridge is a mostly urban area with many towns and villages. Some very old churches, called parish churches, are still standing. However, most of the worship places were built more recently, in the 1800s and 1900s.

A census in 2011 showed that most people in Elmbridge are Christian. The Church of England, which is the official church of the country, has the most buildings. There are also many Roman Catholic churches. You can find chapels for other Christian groups like Methodists, Baptists, and the United Reformed Church throughout the area. Other groups include Christian Scientists, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Jehovah's Witnesses, the New Apostolic Church, Quakers, and Spiritualists. A Korean Presbyterian group meets in Weybridge, and synagogues serve Jewish people of both the Liberal and Reform traditions.

Many of these buildings are considered important by Historic England. They have "listed status," which means they are special because of their history or design. There are three levels of listed status:

• Grade I: Buildings that are extremely important.
• Grade II*: Buildings that are very important.
• Grade II: Buildings that are important.

As of 2001, Elmbridge had 8 Grade I buildings, 20 Grade II* buildings, and 462 Grade II buildings. Four churches are also "locally listed," meaning the local council thinks they are important to the area.

Exploring Elmbridge's Places of Worship

Elmbridge borough is in the north of Surrey.

Elmbridge is in the northern part of Surrey, close to Greater London. It borders other areas like Richmond upon Thames, Kingston upon Thames, Mole Valley, Guildford, Woking, Runnymede, and Spelthorne.

The biggest towns in Elmbridge are Walton-on-Thames and Weybridge. Other towns and villages include West Molesey, Hersham, Cobham, Esher, Thames Ditton, Claygate, East Molesey, Long Ditton, Hinchley Wood, Oxshott, Stoke d'Abernon, and Weston Green. Elmbridge is known for being a wealthy area with a high quality of life. Its closeness to London and major airports makes it a popular, but expensive, place to live. In 2011, the total population was over 130,000 people.

Ancient Anglican Churches

The Anglican church at Stoke d'Abernon has some very old parts.

Some of the oldest churches in Elmbridge are parish churches in Cobham, Stoke d'Abernon, Thames Ditton, and Walton-on-Thames.

• In Cobham, St Andrew's Church has a tower from the Norman period (around 1066-1154). Other parts are from the 1200s, 1300s, and 1400s.
• St Mary's Church in Stoke d'Abernon is even older. Parts of it date back to the Saxon period (before 1066), and it even has old Roman bricks in its walls.
• St Nicholas' Church in Thames Ditton has a large tower and some windows from the 1200s. Its font (a basin for baptisms) is a century older.
• St Mary's Church in Walton-on-Thames also has some Norman-era parts, but most of it was built in the 1300s and 1400s.
• Esher's church, which existed by the late 1200s, was replaced around 1540 by the "delightful" St George's Church.

Victorian and 20th-Century Anglican Churches

Many Anglican churches in Elmbridge were built during the Victorian era (1837-1901). This was a time of fast population growth.

• The old church in Weybridge was replaced in 1848 by a new building designed by John Loughborough Pearson.
• St Mary's Church at Long Ditton replaced a 12th-century church nearby in 1878.
• St Mary's Church at East Molesey and St Peter's Church in West Molesey were almost completely rebuilt in the mid-1800s. Only the 16th-century tower of St Peter's remains from the older church.
• New churches were also built to serve growing communities. Holy Trinity Church at Claygate opened in 1840. A year earlier, a church with the same name was built in Hersham.
• Christ Church (1853–54) became the main parish church of Esher, taking over from St George's Church.
• St Paul's Church at East Molesey was built in 1854.
• St Mary's Church at Oatlands opened in 1861.
• In the 1900s, new churches opened in Weston Green (1939), Hinchley Wood, and southern Walton-on-Thames after World War II.

Roman Catholic Churches

Thames Ditton's Roman Catholic church was built in 1965.

The first main place for Roman Catholic worship in the area was Woburn Park, a country estate. It had a Catholic chapel, but it closed in 1815. That same year, a priest started a new Catholic group in his house in Weybridge.

• In 1836, a Catholic landowner built a new chapel. This small building later became part of a much larger church, St Charles Borromeo, which opened in 1881.
• In 1905, two new Catholic missions started in Elmbridge. A church was built in Walton-on-Thames in 1906, which was later replaced by the current St Erconwald's Church in 1937.
• In West Molesey, a house became a chapel in 1905, followed by a tin tabernacle, and then the current St Barnabas' Church, built in 1931.
• More churches were built after World War II in Cobham (1958), Hersham (1960), Claygate (1960–61), and Thames Ditton (1965).
• In Weybridge, a disused cinema was even turned into a second church, St Martin de Porres. Both St Charles Borromeo and St Martin de Porres churches closed in 1988. Money from their sale helped build a new church, the Church of Christ Prince of Peace, which opened in 1989. The old St Charles Borromeo church became a Korean Presbyterian church.

Methodist Churches

In 1947, there were Methodist chapels in Cobham, East Molesey, Esher, Walton-on-Thames, and Weybridge.

• St Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Walton-on-Thames was built in 1931 as a church hall. It is still used for worship by the United Reformed Church.
