Welcome to the website of the Sonning & Sonning Eye Society!

We are a civic society committed to:

• Promoting high standards of planning and architecture in Sonning and Sonning Eye;
• Educating the public in their geography, history, natural history and architecture; and
• Securing the preservation, protection, development and improvement of features of historic, natural or public interest in the two villages.

The Planning & Traffic Panel contributes effectively to planning, environmental and highways consultations, offering considered views on issues affecting both sides of the river. We are fortunate to have found so many people who have been willing to give freely of their time on behalf of our Society.  The Panels also welcome new members to share in the work.

The Society, through the Education Panel and the Social Committee, provides a varied programme of events, which members and non-members alike support very well. Our talks and walks have ranged from Thames Watermills through biodiversity to brick making.  Full details of future events are advertised in "Bridge", the quarterly newsletter of the Society.

Currently the Society is actively engaged in:

• Village Voices, a project designed to capture our oral history; and
• Assisting Sonning Parish Council in preparing a new Conservation Area Assessment
• Preparing a short illustrated architectural and historical guide for publication

New members are always welcome.  Membership is open to everyone who cares about the villages and their surroundings.  We think you might want to join if you are interested in:

• Our many excellent buildings;
• High standards of planning and architecture;
• The natural environment and the effects of traffic; and
• Geography, history and architecture.

The Society’s website is brought to you by the Education Panel and contains news about our activities, details of forthcoming events and useful links. Comments and suggestions about items for inclusion should be addressed to the Panel via webmaster@sonning.org.uk.
