The Roman Catholic Church of Christ Our Hope was built ca. 1971 and closed ca. 1989. It is now Beare Green Village Hall. The area is now served from Dorking St. Joseph's RC church.
There is no graveyard at the former church which is located in the Anglican ecclesiastical parishan ecclesiastical parish is an administrative area within the Church of England or Roman Catholic church. It is distinct from the civil parish, a local government unit in England of Capel and Ockley. Both of these churches had burial grounds.
