Abstract: |
A plain building of the late 1950s, designed by the well-known Quaker architect Hubert Lidbetter, located within a post-war housing estate. Overall, the meeting house has medium significance. Evidential value: The meeting house was built in 1957. Its evidential value is low. Historical value: The meeting house was built after the Second World War in an area then undergoing major rebuilding. It is an unusual example of a purpose-built Quaker meeting house incorporated in a post-war housing estate; it has medium historical value. Aesthetic value: The building is a modest design by Hubert Lidbetter, a Quaker architect of note. It has a pleasing domestic character and is relatively little altered, retaining its original Crittall windows and doors, and pantile roof. It is of medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The building is valued by the meeting and other users, for its facilities and its tranquil garden setting. It could probably be put to greater use. As it is, it is of medium communal value. |
