Abstract:
The 1962 meeting house is a well-designed building which makes the most of the site and offers pleasant flexible areas which are comfortable and well lit. The main building is of essentially traditional character, but the detached block is treated as a simple modern pavilion. Paul Mauger was a highly regarded architect who designed buildings in the Hampstead Garden Suburb and whose Friends' Meeting House in Hitchin of 1957-9 has been listed grade II. Evidential value: The building itself has low evidential value, but the site keeps some of the elements of the previous building, such as the walls and gate piers. The meeting house has medium evidential significance. Historical value: The building has medium historical value as a mid twentieth-century meeting house, built in an area of planned nineteenth-century residential development. Aesthetic value: The building has aesthetic value for the good handling of the spaces, and the careful site management to take advantage of changes in level and integrate the courtyard and garden settings into the composition. Paul Mauger was an architect of some note who designed well-crafted buildings some of which have been listed. The garden pavilion is a good example of simple modernist design. The place has medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The building is fairly well-used by local groups and has medium communal value
