Abstract: |
A meeting house of the 1950s by William Barnes, which has been much altered with later additions, though the original meeting room survives. The building is of medium heritage value. Evidential value: The meeting house dates from 1959 and is of low evidential value. Historical value: The Stevenage meeting was established at this location in 1959 as part of the development of the new town. The building and site have medium historical value. Aesthetic value: The original design by William Barnes has been virtually submerged in later additions, though the original meeting room survives. It is a pleasant space, but as a whole the building is of low aesthetic value. Communal value: The building has been in continuous use by Quakers and other local community groups for over fifty years and is of high communal value. |
