  • Henrietta Barnett: Co-Founder of Toynbee Hall, Teacher, Philanthropist and Social Reformer
    Henrietta Barnett: Co-founder of Toynbee Hall, teacher, philanthropist and social reformer. by Tijen Zahide Horoz For a future without poverty There was always “something maverick, dominating, Roman about her, which is rarely found in women, though she was capable of deep feeling.” n 1884 Henrietta Barnett and her husband Samuel founded the first university settlement, Toynbee Hall, where Oxbridge students could become actively involved in helping to improve life in the desperately poor East End Ineighbourhood of Whitechapel. Despite her active involvement in Toynbee Hall and other projects, Henrietta has often been overlooked in favour of a focus on her husband’s struggle for social reform in East London. But who was the woman behind the man? Henrietta’s work left an indelible mark on the social history of London. She was a woman who – despite the obstacles of her time – accomplished so much for poor communities all over London. Driven by her determination to confront social injustice, she was a social reformer, a philanthropist, a teacher and a devoted wife. A shrewd feminist and political activist, Henrietta was not one to shy away from the challenges posed by a Victorian patriarchal society. As one Toynbee Hall settler recalled, Henrietta’s “irrepressible will was suggestive of the stronger sex”, and “there was always something maverick, dominating, Roman about her, which is rarely found in women, though she was capable of deep feeling.”1 (Cover photo): Henrietta in her forties. 1.

  • London and the Evolution of Suburbia a Tale of Two Suburbs by James
    Architecture of Prosperity Series: London and the Evolution of Suburbia A Tale of Two Suburbs By James Fischelis 16 October 2014 * * * I’m going to talk about what we can learn about the future of London suburbs from what has already been built. I’ve chosen to focus on the London Borough of Barnet because it typifies much of suburban London: it’s made up of 33½ square miles of parks, gardens, houses, flats, offices and high streets. I’ll be looking in particular at two areas which, to my mind, illustrate the extremes of British suburban development over the past century. First is Hampstead Garden Suburb, built between 1909 - 1936, a haven of peace and tranquillity, neat hedges and middle class affluence. The second, 3½ miles north-west, is The Grahame Park Estate completed in 1971, and notorious as a drug-riddled, high crime, low income estate. Today it’s undergoing comprehensive demolition and redevelopment. Our story starts not in Barnet, or even North London, but in the East End - in Whitechapel. It was here, in the 1870s, that the ideas that led to the creation of Hampstead Garden Suburb were being dreamed of. Henrietta Barnett, the wife of a Whitechapel vicar, was appalled by the living conditions of the urban poor she saw all around her. Bad sanitation, overcrowding and disease were rife, and there was no escape from the black soot of the city, no green space. And so with the zeal of any right-minded Victorian ‘social reformer’, she set about creating a brave new world.

Kroessler: Preserving the Historic Garden Suburb Introduction In all the discussions of sustainability, historic preservation rarely makes an appearance. Energy efficiency, recycled materials, green roofs, LEED certification, solar power and windmills, even bike racks – all are popularized as acceptable elements of sustainable architecture. Economic justice, environmentalism, and social justice are the primary concerns of sustainability advocates. Environmental planning addresses the preservation of open space and greenbelts, but rarely the preservation of the built environment (Young 2002). Restoring or maintaining historic buildings is generally not counted as green by environmental advocates. But really, the greenest building is the one that is already built.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Hertfordshire Research Archive Dr Gavin Budge School of English University of Central England Poverty and the Picture Gallery: the Whitechapel Exhibitions and the social project of Ruskinian aesthetics i) Introduction: defining "aesthetic experience" When critics write about "the aesthetic" today, they almost always invoke the notion of a separate realm removed from practical consequences. It is this conception of the aesthetic that has led a recent critic to dismiss the Whitechapel art exhibitions organized by Canon Samuel Augustus and Mrs Henrietta Olivia Barnett in the 1880s and 1890s (which eventually led to the founding of the Whitechapel Art Gallery) as fundamentally propagandistic exercises. In this view, the practical purposes which the Barnetts had in mind when they organized the exhibitions necessarily disqualify them as properly aesthetic experiences.1 I do not intend to dispute the ideological nature of the Whitechapel exhibitions; indeed, much of this paper is devoted to showing the close connection between the Barnetts' ideas about art and their ideas about methods of poor relief. What I would like to question, however, is the common assumption that properly "aesthetic" experience is at odds with practical attempts at social reform. What makes the Barnetts interesting, I shall suggest, is precisely the continuity in their thinking between social reform and the aesthetic. It is this continuity which should lead us to complicate and relativize our notions of what constitutes properly "aesthetic" experience. The problem which the Barnetts pose has wider implications for our understanding of what "aesthetic experience" meant in the nineteenth century.

The first chapter presents a brief biography of Sainiel Augustus Barnett, the founder end ft ret warden of the settlement, and analyzes his social thought in relation to the beliefs which were current in Britain during the period. The second chapter discusses the founding of the settlement, its organiza-. tion&. structure and the aims which underlay its early v&rk. The third chapter, concentrating on Iliree residents, C.R.
