Bournville Quaker Meeting House (part of Bournville Heritage Open Day 2025)

Heritage Open Day: Visit an unusually elaborate Quaker Meeting House and the only one housing an organ. George and Richard Cadbury put their faith into action as they built their new chocolate factory and the pioneering village beyond the boundaries of the city centre. The Quaker Meeting House was built in 1905 and was designed by William Alexander Harvey, an influential architect on the Bournville estate. It is unusually ornate for a Quaker Meeting House, showing Arts and Crafts influences, but as it was to be used by the new villagers as a place of worship and a community building for all, it was designed to look familiar to church-goers. The Y-shaped building is based on Edgar Wood's First Church of Christ Scientist in Manchester.
