Abstract: |
A small modernist meeting house of the 1950s by Hubert Lidbetter which has been much altered with later additions, though the original meeting room survives. The building is of low heritage value. Evidential value: The meeting house dates from 1953 and is of low evidential value because it has little potential to yield evidence for human activity in the more remote past. Historical value: The Watford meeting was established at this location in 1953. The building and site have low historical value. Aesthetic value: The original design by Hubert Lidbetter has been virtually submerged in later additions, though the original meeting room survives. It is a pleasant space, but as a whole the building is of low aesthetic value. Communal value: The building has been in continuous use by Quakers and other local community groups for over sixty years and is of high communal value. |
