| Admin History | This Sunninghill society, formerly Wesleyan Methodist, formed part of the Camberley circuit, later Aldershot, Farnborough and Camberley circuit, until it joined the new SE Berks circuit in 1991. In 1969 the society amalgamated with Sunningdale (D/MS 18) and Sunninghill Cheapside (D/MS 17) from the Windsor and Maidenhead circuit.
The building was built in 1881 as a Congregational chapel, and purchased by the Wesleyans in 1911. Worship ceased in 2001, with the building initially continuing to be used for the ecumenical CAMEO Centre. It was sold in 2004. |
