A short history of SM2

Stane Street, a Roman road, bounds part of Cheam. The name, recorded as Cegeham, may mean a homestead near tree stumps. Domesday Book lists the place as Ceiham, held by Archbishop Lanfranc of Canterbury, with four hides, one church, 17 ploughs, a mile of meadow and woodland worth 25 hogs, rendering £14. Potteries operated there in the Middle Ages. Henry III made Cheam a town by charter in 1259 and in 1538 part of it passed to Henry VIII, who began Nonsuch Palace. Cheam School was formed in Whitehall in 1645. A school for pauper children was built at Belmont in the early 1850s, though the village dates from the late 19th century. The railway station opened in 1865 as California Station after a pub and was renamed Belmont in 1875. Of 18 listed buildings nearby, the Church of St Nicholas and Sutton Baptist Church are Grade II*.
