Peter O'Kill has very kindly made available articles that he has recently written on the history of Sunningdale and of the Village Hall. Peter also contributed towards the history of Sunningdale Allotments which was written by Brian King.

	This brief History of Sunningdale was penned by Peter O'Kill for inclusion in the new online county gazetteer which is currently being built by Berkshire Family History Society. As well as a general history, it covers churches, estates, schools, village halls and governance.
	Sunningdale Village Hall recently celebrated its centenary; it was first used on November 23rd, 1909 by the Debating Society. Peter O'Kill wrote this History of the Village Hall which was published and circulated widely as part of the celebrations.
	The Allotment Movement slowly began to gather momentum from the 1830s onwards. Members of the nobility and the clergy were early providers of plots. As described in Brian King's History of Sunningdale Allotments, the Rev. Raffles Flint, vicar of Holy Trinity, was responsible for the setting up of the current site in the late 1870s.

We are interested in adding further articles and pictures to this section of the website. Please contact us to discuss any ideas that you have.
