Title
Interior of Mary Ward House in Tavistock Place
Description
A view of a common room at the Mary Ward House Conference and Exhibition Centre at 5 Tavistock Place, Bloomsbury. On the right hand wall is fitted furniture that includes display shelves showing metal items. In the room are several armchairs and two coffee tables. Several light fittings hang from the ceiling. Dating from 1896-98, the centre at 5 Tavistock Place was Grade I listed in 1960 as the National Institute for Social Work and Training, listing number 1378962. It was built in the Arts and Crafts style for the Passmore Edwards Settlement, named after its funder, the philanthropist John Passmore Edwards, as the centre of a thriving social and community network. The Settlement Movement began in the 1880s in the United States and England to create places where middle class volunteers would share knowledge and culture with their low-income neighbours. In 1920, the centre was renamed the Mary Ward Settlement after Mary Augusta Ward (1851-1920), a Victorian novelist and social reformer. Dating from 1903, the separate Mary Ward Centre at 9 Tavistock Place was Grade II listed in 1974, listing number 1378963.
