There are the ruins of a much older chapel of ease a short distance along Chapel Lane. There is no graveyard at West Humble, burials would most likely have taken place at Mickleham. The monumental inscriptions for Mickleham St Michael and All Angels were noted by Alfred Bax in June and September 1893. His notes are in the collection of Surrey Archaeological Society and were transcribed by volunteers from West Surrey Family History Society in 2015. There are around 500 names from Mickleham in the Surrey Monumental Inscriptions Index
