Abstract: |
The meeting house was built in 1907 to the designs of the Quaker architect Fred Rowntree. The building is an attractive product of the Edwardian Arts and Crafts movement and contains some of the original meeting room chairs. There have been some minor internal alterations but the building is still of high heritage significance. Evidential value: The building is of medium evidential value. It has suffered some alterations since it was built, and there is doubtless some archaeological evidence of past change. Historical value: The meeting house was built in 1907, and is one of several meeting houses in North London by Fred Rowntree. It is of medium historical value. Aesthetic value: The meeting house is an attractive Arts and Crafts design, retaining many external and internal features of note, including chairs by Philip Clisset or his followers. The appearance of the building externally has been little altered but there have been some internal alterations. Despite this, the building is of high aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house is well-used by local groups and is of high communal value. |
