Although these pages were set up for Sunningdale plot holders all growers are welcome to browse the content. See the About page to understand the basic objectives. If you are interested in a plot at Sunningdale read this and then contact Anne Martin, the clerk to the Sunningdale Parish Council.

One of our plot holders has a blog; see Vortex's blog here.

Can you help? We are still trying to find out precisely when the current Sunningdale Allotment site came into being. If you have any information please contact us. We are particularly keen to locate copies of the Holy Trinity Sunningdale parish magazine between 1876 and 1882.

New Parliamentary Bill for Allotments? Tony Baldry, MP for Banbury, is proposing a Parliamentary Bill to encourage all local authorities to make provision for allotments; and to require them to consider imposing duties on developers to provide land for statutory allotments when determining planning applications. If you agree with Tony Baldry's aims please contact your MP and urge him/her to back the proposed bill, and also to contact Tony Baldry, telling him who your MP is - so that he can pursue him/her in Parliament for support.
