Abstract: |
In May 2013, AS Ltd carried out historic building recording at Birchwood Methodist Church in Hatfield. The recording was carried out in order to fulfil a planning condition attached to planning approval for the proposed demolition of the existing church and the erection of five three-bedroom dwellings. The main church was constructed in 1936 following residential development in the area. The church is a modest building although slight architectural detail has been included, typical of a 1930s date. The range has been comprehensively modernised and only one or two original elements survive such as the fine parquet flooring. A second phase of work was carried out in the 1950s which saw the construction of a second hall to provide for teaching and other activities. This range was constructed in sympathetic style to the original church using similar brick and utilising other motifs such as the tiled kneelers to support the eaves. This range retains most of the original fixtures and fittings. |
