THE MASTERS RECEPTIONTUESDAY 15 OCTOBER 2013 at 6.30pmTHE BISHOPSGATE INSTITUTE LIBRARY

Since first opening its doors on New Years Day 1895, Bishopsgate Institute

has been a hub for culture and learning.The original aims of the Institute

were to provide a public library, public hall and meeting rooms for people

living and working in the City of London. The Great Hall in particular

was erected for the benefit of the public to promote lectures, exhibitions

and otherwise the advancement literature, science and the fine arts'.

Reverend William Rogers (1819-1896), Rector of St Botolphs and a notable

educational reformer and supporter of free libraries was instrumental in

setting up the Institute and ensuring that the original charitable aims weremet.

Bishopsgate Institute was the first of the three major buildings designed by

Charles Harrison Townsend (1851-1928); the other two are the nearby

Whitechapel Gallery and the Horniman Museum in South London. His work

combined elements of the Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau styles, along with

the typically Victorian.

With its terracotta faade covered with stylised leafy trees and topped by

two turrets, its impressive Great Hall, panelled Boardroom and recently-

restored Reference Library, the Grade II* listed building is one of the very

few in the area to have survived intact through the 20th century.
