Abstract: |
An interwar suburban bungalow adapted for Quaker use in the 1970s, of overall low significance. Evidential value: The building was not designed as a meeting house, and is of low evidential value. However, the benches and headstones brought here from previous local meeting houses are of high evidential value. Historical value: This is the successor to three meeting houses in Staines, the earliest of which was built in 1714, but Quakers have only met for worship here since the 1970s. The building dates from the 1920s, and is of low historical value. Aesthetic value: The building is an attractive interwar design, which retains much of its original character, and while not of particular architectural significance, is of medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house is well used by local community groups, although its small size, limited parking and location in a residential street limits the scope for this. It is of medium communal value. |
