The Exchange opened in September 2021, and many people have had a chance to explore it since then, but Birmingham We Are's Daniel Sturley and Elliott Brown have yet to have time to visit it and go inside (other commitments, no time etc). This gallery of photos showing the renovations between March and December 2021. It was completed by the end of August 2021. It sounds like some people have had guided tours of the building. Hopefully Jonathan Bostock will get access for guided tours in 2022?

Bournville Quaker Friends Meeting House - enjoy our visit shared with you!





The purpose built Bournville Quaker Meeting House on Lindon Road, Bournville was completed in 1905 to the designs of William Alexander Harvey as part of the Bournville Village Trust, a Trust created by the Cadbury family.

Enjoy this article and photography with us.


In 1879, Cadbury's relocated their factory from central Birmingham to their new site to the south of the city, now known as Bournville Village.

Following the opening of the new factory in 1879, George Cadbury built a number of houses for key workers close to the factory.

The Bournville Village Trust was established in 1900 and the purpose built Quaker Meeting House was built in 1905 to the designs of William Alexander Harvey.

Internal changes to the meeting room carried out in 1935 included the removal of the rostrum; the replacement of a platform; and the removal of panelling within the arch of the south hall.

An extension was built in 1960 for a children's room with a smaller library and cloakrooms. This was designed by Selby Clewer, the chief architect of the Bournville Village Trust. The library was opened in 1988 to make a lobby area, and the main hall was re-roofed, internal front doors were added, and ancillary facilities were reconfigured.

You enter the House through the green doors.

dndimg alt="Bournville Quaker Friends Meeting House" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/BVT Quaker FMH 11092021 (2).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

As you go in to the building there is a pair of black and white portrait photographs of Dame Elizabeth Cadbury (1858 - 1951) and her husband George Cadbury (1839 - 1922).

Outside of the Friends Meeting House is a bronze bust of George and his ashes were buried there following his death.

dndimg alt="Bournville Quaker Friends Meeting House" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/BVT Quaker FMH 11092021 (3).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

There is also a plaque to celebrate the planting of a Cedar Tree outside the buiding on the 24th June 1948 by Elizabeth Mary Cadbury during the year of her 90th birthday. This has now grown into the tree that is wrapped with Christmas lights between November and January each year.

dndimg alt="Bournville Quaker Friends Meeting House" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/BVT Quaker FMH 11092021 (4).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

The house is a magnificent space similar in design to Bournville Village Primary School which was also designed by architect William Alexander Harvey.

dndimg alt="Bournville Quaker Friends Meeting House" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/BVT Quaker FMH 11092021 (6).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

A roll of memory contains some of the Cadbury family and a number of other Quaker's who have passed away.

dndimg alt="Bournville Quaker Friends Meeting House" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/BVT Quaker FMH 11092021 (7).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

A wonderful organ and clock can be found above the door.
