Description:
The conversion of a redundant Anglican church from the19th century to 16 small flats for young single people with associated communal facilities. The building was the only building of any presence or quality in the generally more commercial and depressed eastern side of the town. The value of the conversion is simply that it has enabled the retention of St. James as an important feature of the Farnham townscape. Design objectives: to retain the value of the building and to provide clear indications of the radical change of use. Some masonry restoration, new openings were concentrated to the roof area.
