Abstract: |
The meeting house was built in 1913 to the designs of the Quaker architect Fred Rowntree. The building is an attractive product of the Edwardian Age and is based loosely on the 1688 meeting house at Jordans in Buckinghamshire. The building has been relatively little altered and is of high heritage significance. Evidential value: The building has suffered remarkably few alterations since it was built and offers little in the way of archaeological evidence of past change, so it is of medium evidential value. Historical value: The meeting house was built in 1913, and belongs to the early twentieth-century development of Hampstead Garden Suburb. For this and as a design by Fred Rowntree the meeting house is of high historical value. Aesthetic value: The meeting house is an attractive simple arts neo-vernacular building of 1913 designed by Fred Rowntree for the Hampstead Garden Suburb community, which has retained much of its original character and is of high aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house is fairly well-used by local groups and is of high communal value. |
