St Paul's Bow Common
is a truly iconic Church, at least for those who take an interest in
the liturgical life of the Church of England. It was the starting
point of the partnership of Maguire and Murray, and Adler provides an
engaging account of what they did next over the following half
century or so.
Many of the values
they seeked to embody, about a quality of provision, about a
simplicity, are very attractive. This is an account of the buildings
that they built, but it might have been good to hear more of the
users experience, to hear about what these buildings had become in
the intervening years. Have the hopes of providing spaces that
enabled healthy community life been realised?
