Camberley on Wikipedia.           
 

Bethel Prayer House (2025 Streetview) is on Queen Mary Avenue and Victoria Avenue. Ii appears  to be of post-war construction, and in 2026 A.I. says that it was previously Crossroads Evangelical Church. SU 8630 6014. Facebook.

Camberley Baptist Church stands on Frimley Road, and was seen by Streetview in 2025. SU 8647 6032. Link. The about us page dates it to 1871, when it replaced an earlier chapel which had originally been Wesleyan Methodist.

Camberley Spiritualist Church is on Gordon Road, and seen by Streetview in 2023. SU 8725 6008. Link.

The striking Congregational Church, which used to stand at the junction of Southwell Park Road and Southern Road. According to this source, it was built in 1930-1, and was demolished in 1990 (Wikipedia article). SU 8724 6041. From an old postcard in Reg Dosell's Collection.

Guru Nanak Gurwara on London Road, as seen by Streetview in 2025. SU 8676 6055. Link.

M.A. Al-Kharafi Islamic Centre (2025 Streetview) on London Road. SU 8670 6055. Link.

New Apostolic Church (2025 Streetview) stands at the junction of France Hill Drive and Southwell Park Road. SU 8710 6033. Link. According to this source, it was originally a Christian Scientist Church, replacing their demolished church on Park Street. Possibly, the earlier church was one showing on a map of 1935 (but not on older maps) on the southern side of Southwell Park Road at its junction with Park Street, but it's only labelled as Church. Whatever it was, its site is now home to Wessex House - 2025 Streetview.

A Primitive Methodist Chapel is referenced here, where it says it was built in 1889, initially as a tin tabernacle, replaced a few years later. However, it doesn't specify where it was or is, and I can't find a P.M. Chapel on available maps. This source also talks about a P.M. Church, on Obelisk Street, later taken over by Baptists, but again, no maps show it. Do you know where it was?

St. Martin of Tours (2025 Streetview) stands on Upper College Ride. According to the town Wikipedia article, St. Martin's was consecrated in 1978. SU 8895 6185. Link.

St. Mary (2025 Streetview) stands on Park Road, and is dated on its ACNY entry to 1937. SU 8707 5928. Link.

St. Michael at York Town. SU 8650 6047. From an old postcard in Reg Dosell's Collection. Link. Grade II listed - dates it to 1849-51.

St. Paul stands on Crawley Ridge, and was seen by Streetview in 2025. SU 8849 6051. Link. The history page dates the church originally to the mid-1880's, as Nonconformist, changed to Anglican worship in 1895, and replaced by the present church, commenced in 1902 and dedicated in 1907. The first church now serves as the church hall - 2025 Streetview. SU 8847 6048.

St. Peter and St. John (R.C.) on Caesars Camp Road, as seen by Streetview in 2025. SU 8902 6063. Link, which dates it to the early 1960's.

St. Tarcisius (R.C.) on London Road and Lower Charles Street. Its grade II listing dates it to 1923-6. A 2025 Streetview provides another view. SU 8714 6066. From an old postcard in Reg Dosell's Collection. Link. Maps older that 1923 show another R.C. Chapel set further back from the road then the present church. It pre-dates a map of 1897. In a 2025 Streetview the present church is to the right, the site of its predecessor is marked by the low building behind the hedge. SU 8715 6063.

These used to be a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel at the junction of London Road and The Avenue, at SU 8681 6054. It's dated here (where there is a photo) to 1913 - 1990. A block of flats was built on its site - 2025 Streetview.
