Abstract:		 An attractive Arts and Crafts design of the Edwardian period by Pepler and Allen, notable figures in the garden city movement and the development of modern town planning. Overall, the meeting house has high significance. Evidential value: The meeting house retains much of its original fabric and character, but later alterations have reduced its value. Overall it is of medium evidential value. Historical value: The meeting house was built in 1909, and belongs to the early twentieth century suburban development of Purley. Its primary historical interest is perhaps as a design by George Pepler and Ernest G. Allen, significant figures in the garden city movement and the development of modern town planning. As such it is of high historical value. Aesthetic value: The meeting house is an attractive arts and crafts design, retaining many external and internal features of note, including a meeting room with scissor braced roof (comparable to that in the contemporary Adult School at Croydon). The appearance of the building has been undermined by later alterations, but overall it remains of high aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house is used by local groups, but the nature of the site and the lack of car parking limits the scope for wider community use. It is not a prominent building in the local townscape. It is of medium communal value.
