Chesham Mosque

Chesham Mosque is a mosque in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, England. It was constructed between 2004 and 2005, to replace the former mosque, which was located in two converted houses on Bellingdon Road. The total cost of the construction work was £1.6 million, all of which was raised from donations and collections. The mosque contains two prayer rooms with a total capacity for 700.
The first mosque in Chesham was established in 1970. In 1979, the mosque moved to two converted houses at 161–163 Bellingdon Road, to be closer to the majority of Chesham's Muslim households. The maximum capacity for this mosque was 200. By the late 1990s, the Muslim population in Chesham had grown to 1500, prompting a search for a site to construct a new mosque. Fundraising for the mosque began during Ramadan in December 1998. All of the costs of construction were raised from donations and door-to-door collections.
