Abstract: |
Malvern meeting house has medium heritage significance as a building purpose-built for Friends in 1938. It was designed by architect J.R.Armstrong who worked for the Bournville Village Trust and has some connections with the Cadbury family. The meeting house interior retains 1930s features and has a good set of Bryn Mawr furniture and its exterior contributes to the conservation area. Evidential value: This is a purpose-built structure dating from the beginning of the twentieth century, not on a site of a former building. It is of low evidential value. Historical value: The meeting house has medium historical value, as a 1930s meeting house built to serve an established meeting in Malvern. It has some associations with the Cadbury family who attended meetings when on holiday at their house Wind's Point near here. Aesthetic value: The meeting house is a neo-Georgian domestic style building, designed by an architect associated with Bournville Village Trust, J.R.Armstrong. The tiled roof, casement windows and simple brick detailing are typical of small inter-war meeting houses. The building contributes to the conservation area and retains a little altered interior with Bryn Mawr furnishings; it has high aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house was built for Quaker use. However, it is also a community resource and has high communal value. |
