History of Sunninghill
Silwood, Sovereigns & a Spa
Sunninghill is the most south-easterly parish in Berkshire and stretches over both Sunningdale and Ascot, as well as Sunninghill itself. The 'Devil's Highway' follows much of the border with Surrey. It was the old Roman road from London to Silchester and is said that ghostly Roman soldiers still march along its route!
The place-name means 'Sunna's People's Hill' referring to the early Saxon leader, Sunna, who set up a small kingdom in Eastern Berkshire. Centred on Sonning, it was called 'Sunningum'. His name is particularly remembered at Sunninghill because it lay on the boundary of his kingdom with 'Surrey' (the Southern Kingdom).
There are records of people living in or near Sunninghill since the 12th century. The Church of England parish church of Saint Michael and All Angels was originally established about AD 890 but was rebuilt in 1808 and 1826-27.
At nearby Silwood Park, the Manor Sunninghill was settled in 1362 by John de Sunninghill, the first of numerous recorded residents of the area. The park is now a campus of Imperial College London, where CONSORT, a small nuclear reactor for civilian scientific research, has been in use since 1964.
Cordes Hall, in the centre of the village, was designed by Joseph and Edward Morris and built in 1902. During World War II the village was home to the exiled King Zog of Albania, who lived in Bagshot Road for a few months in 1941. The areas is mainly residential, characterised by generally large dwellings set in their own grounds. Beatle John Lennon and his new wife Yoko Ono lived at the house known as Tittenhurst Park in London Road from 1969-71. Another Beatle, Ringo Starr then lived there till the late 1980s. In the 19th century the house was also the home of Thomas Holloway the Victorian businessman and philanthropist together with his wife, Jane. Holloway was the founder of Royal Holloway, London University in nearby Englefield Green and also Holloway Sanatorium also nearby in Virginia Water. Jane died in 1875, aged 61; Holloway died there on 26 December 1875, aged 83. They are buried in a family grave at Sunninghill churchyard.
