Whiteley Village, in Hersham, Surrey, England, is a retirement village, much of it designed architecturally by Arts and Crafts movement-influenced architect Reginald Blomfield. It is owned by the charitable Whiteley Homes Trust and is on land which was once part of Walton Firs and Walton Heath, before the parish of Hersham was created in the 19th century.

Weybridge United Reformed Church
Weybridge United Reformed Church

The Weybridge United Reformed Church (formerly Weybridge Congregational Church) situate at Queen's Road (the A 317 Road), Weybridge, near to its junction with York Road, is a Victorian Grade II Listed church building (or former church building) that is now no longer used as a place of worship. It was the United Reformed church serving the town of Weybridge in the English county of Surrey, until 2022. In 2022, the Weybridge congregation of the United Reformed Church merged with the Walton-on-Thames congregation of the United Reformed Church (formerly the St Andrew's Presbyterian Church), thereby forming a single United Reformed Church in Walton and Weybride. The merged congregation now worships in the St Andrew's buildings at Hersham Road, Walton-on-Thames, a distance of 2.2 miles from the Weybridge building. The merged congregation has adopted the name St Andrew's United Reformed Church Walton and Weybridge. The Decorated Gothic Revival church at Queen's Road, Weybridge , a cruciform building with a tall spire, was designed in 1864 by John Tarring and opened the following year. Congregational services had commenced in the town in 1860 at the initiative of resident Benjamin Scott; the rapidly rising number of worshippers outgrew the rooms in which meetings were held, and Scott himself bought the land on which the church now stands and helped to finance its construction. The Weybridge Congregational Church and the Walton (St Andrew's) Presbyterian Church both joined the United Reformed Church denomination upon its formation in 1972, but for almost fifty years they remained as two distinct local churches within the wider United Reformed Church, until their merger in 2022. Historic England has listed the Weybridage building at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.
