Sunningdale History

Peter O'Kill has very kindly made available articles that he has recently written on the history of Sunningdale and of the Village Hall. John End has given permission to show selected pictures of Sunningdale as it was and Peter has provided some present day versions. Peter also contributed towards the history of Sunningdale Allotments which was written by Brian King.

Holy Trinity Church From the Romans to The Beatles: A Brief History of Sunningdale was penned by Peter O'Kill for inclusion in the Official Sunningdale Guide 2010. It is reproduced here.
Sunningdale station level crossing in 1903 Selected Then and Now pictures of Sunningdale have kindly been made available by John End (the old photos) and Peter O'Kill (the present day equivalents).
Artist - Wendy Trinder 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.
View of Joseph Arioli's plot 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.
