About St Michael's, Betchworth
Prior to 1534, the people of Brockham worshipped at St Michael’s, Betchworth, where there had been a church on the present site for 900 years. A fragment of the stone Saxon church can be seen in a pillar of the south window of the tower. St Michael's is recorded in the Domesday Book as part of the lands of Richard FitzGilbert (Richard of Tonbridge). It was valued at £8. The south aisle chapel always had a connection with the Manor of Brockham and there is a memorial to Gabriel Wright, whose family were Lords of the Manor for two centuries from 1605. It became known as the Hope Chapel after Henry Thomas Hope bought the Manor in 1838.
