Abstract: |
The meeting house was built as a separate building in the garden of the former meeting house in 1957, designed by Michael Sykes. The former meeting house was originally a bungalow, adapted for Quaker use in 1931 and now provides the warden's accommodation and further meeting space. Collectively the site has low heritage significance. Evidential value The meeting house was built in 1957 as a separate building in the garden of the former meeting house, which was built in the 1920s. The building and the site have low evidential value. Historical value Little is known about the early history of the former meeting house at 136 Street Lane, in terms of its architect and occupiers. The present meeting house is a post-war building and has low historical value. Overall the site provides a local context for the evolution of Quakers in the area from the 1930s. Aesthetic value This meeting house dating from 1957 has few decorative features and is largely hidden from the street frontage. It has low aesthetic value. Communal value The site has been in use by Quakers and community groups since 1931. It has medium communal value. |
