Abstract: |
A large and dignified building of the mid-1920s, designed by Hubert Lidbetter in a neo-Georgian style. Friends House succeeded Devonshire House in Bishopsgate as the administrative centre of the Society of Friends and as the home of Britain Yearly Meeting. The original large meeting house has been completely re-fitted in recent years and re-named The Light, while the small meeting house has been subdivided. The library, which is the principal national Quaker archive, and the public spaces still retain something of their original character. The western third of the building (Drayton House) has always been in separate occupation. The whole building is of high heritage significance. |
