Uvedale Lambert

Alfred Uvedale Miller Lambert (1870–1928) was an English local historian and antiquarian. He and his wife Cecily (Jane Frances Cecily, née Hoare) lived at South Park, Bletchingley, Surrey.

In 1926 Lambert and his wife offered a barn (and also the adjoining stables) which they owned at Stonehall Farm, Hurst Green, Oxted, Surrey as one of the 25 new churches wanted in the Diocese of Southwark. The barn was moved to North Sheen (now incorporated into Kew), where it was reconstructed as a church, St Philip and All Saints, now known as The Barn Church, Kew. Lambert died before its completion, and the church is dedicated in his memory. The lady chapel at The Barn Church was furnished in memory of Uvedale and Cecily Lambert by their son Uvedale Lambert and was dedicated by The Venerable Charles Lambert on All Saints' Day, 2 November 1933.
