Talk and Tour of the former St Lawrence’s Hospital Burial Ground

Monday 8th June

with Liz Bonsall – Part of the Caterham Festival 2026

35 people joined this free talk to hear the stories and be shown photos of the history of this interesting site as well as walking round to get a sense of its past and to see what remains from it.

The Burial Ground is in Chaldon and is owned and managed by Chaldon Village Council. It is open for public access, and is managed in an environmentally friendly manner to protect its biodiversity.

The entrance to the burial ground is on Bridleway 77, just 150m from Green Lane towards Chaldon and the Golf Club (easiest and level walk) or from the Golf Club towards Green Lane (this direction is steeper and can be muddy).

The grid reference is TQ320560.
