Voysey's Studio, St Dunstan's Road

This little building, tucked away at the end of St Dunstan's Road, was designed in 1891, by the architect Charles Voysey. Voysey was involved in the Arts and Crafts movement, and was to become well known as a designer of substantial country houses - never, according to Pevsner ('Pioneers of Modern Design'), turning his hand to the design of churches or public buildings. Early photographs show that various minor alterations have been made: the chimney stack was once narrower (though of the same distinctive shape) and the ground floor windows have been re-arranged. Since 1948 the building has been used as a church, by the Hungarian Reformed Church. Its present-day interior has been well documented in a series of photos by David Hawgood http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2073833.
