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.
