The
proposed Hampstead Garden Suburb Cultural Hub
Please
let us know your views!
The magnificent Church of St Jude-on-the-Hill lies at the heart of
Hampstead Garden Suburb.
This Grade 1 Listed Building may be one of Lutyens’s masterpieces, but
its poor condition means the church is on Historic England’s “At Risk” Register.
The church intends to apply for Heritage Lottery Funding to help fund
essential restoration work, but also to create a heritage and visitors’ centre
for the Suburb itself. This will be located in a large chapel with its own
access from Central Square, and will celebrate the diverse heritage of the
Suburb, its architectural gems, its place in the garden suburb movement, the
role of Dame Henrietta Barnett and much more. The plans also include the creation of additional community
and studio space. For more
information about the proposals, click here.
It is important that the church consults about these proposals as
widely as possible. Please
let us know what you think, by
taking just five minutes to complete a short online survey.
The link to the survey is here. Do please tell us your thoughts – tell us what
you like about the proposals and tell us what you think should change.
The survey will remain open until 17 November.
Thank you
