SANDHURST

"SANDHURST, in the hundred of Sunning, lies nearly five miles to the south-east of Wokingham. The manor belongs to Richard Heavyside esq. having been acquired, by purchase, from General Williamson, whose family had possessed it many years. The great tithes are impropriated to the dean of Salisbury. The dean is patron of the parochial chapel, which is subject to Sunning, and whithin his own peculiar jurisdiction. An extensive building is about to be erected in this parish, for the purpose of a military college, from the design of James Wyatt esq." [From Lyson's Magna Britannia - Berkshire, 1806]
