Abstract:		 The late Victorian meeting house in Edgbaston Conservation Area has high heritage value. The purpose built meeting house by William Henman retains most of its original architectural detail and has associations with the Calthorpe Estate. Evidential value: This is a purpose-built structure of 1893, and the site is of low evidential value. The Birmingham Historic Environment Record has not identified the site for any archaeological interest. Historical value: The meeting house has high historical significance; it reflects the history of local Quakers from the late nineteenth century. The building has associations with the architect William Henman who also designed Birmingham General Hospital, connections with the Calthorpe Estate and wealthy Quaker families who lived in the area including the Sturge family and Richard Cadbury Barrow. Aesthetic value: The meeting house has a high aesthetic value. It is an attractive late Victorian building which retains much of its elegant classical-style exterior detail. Internally, the spaces and historic fittings add to the aesthetic value of the building. The site is a valuable part of the local scene and makes a positive contribution to the conservation area. Communal value: Since 1893 the meeting house has been a place for Quakers to meet and has a high community value. The meeting house provides a valued venue for local community groups.
