[h1]Trivia challenge[h1]

Yesterday's question: what is the oldest building in Kingston?

ANSWER: The Lovekyn Chapel on London Road!

The Grade II* listed building dates back to 1309 and is the only private chantry chapel to survive the Reformation.

It was founded by former London Mayor, Edward Lovekyn but now owned by Kingston Grammar School which is located directly opposite.

The chapel can be hired for events and is a popular wedding destination.

Come back next Tuesday for a new trivia challenge!
