Abstract:		 A well-detailed post-war design by Hubert Lidbetter, forming a respectful neighbour to W. Curtis Green's fine Adult School Hall of 1908 and occupying a prominent position in the post-war townscape of central Croydon. Overall, the meeting house has high significance. Evidential value: There has been a Quaker meeting house and burial ground on this site since the early eighteenth century. All earlier buildings apart from the Adult School Hall were lost as a result of wartime bombing, but the site remains of high below- and above-ground evidential value. Historical value: The Croydon meeting originated in the 1650s and has been on this site since 1705. There have been three meeting houses as well as a school, burial ground and adult school. The site is of high historical value. Aesthetic value: The meeting house is a well-detailed building of domestic character, designed as a contextual addition to the earlier Adult School Hall. Both buildings occupy a prominent position in the local townscape. The meeting house is little altered inside and out, and displays Arts and Crafts, New England and Scandinavian influences. It is of high aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house is widely used by local groups and is a prominent and well-recognised feature in the local street scene. It is of high communal value.
