Chesham Mosque

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. 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. The final cost of construction was £1.6 million. The old mosque building is used as a meeting and function facility.
