Abstract: |
Statement of Significance:The simple flat-roofed form of the 1960s meeting house creates a distinctive modernist aesthetic on Fisher Street. The site of the building has high historical significance as a Quaker burial ground acquired in 1681. Evidential value: The site of the meeting house was formerly a burial ground and has the potential to yield evidence about past Quaker activity. Historical value:The present meeting house has low historical significance, however the site and Fisher Street have high historical value for the long presence of Quakers in the area. Fisher Street has been home to Quakers since 1681 when land for the first of two burial grounds was purchased. There have been three separate meeting houses on this street. Aesthetic value: This modern building has medium aesthetic value and makes a neutral contribution to the character of the conservation area. Communal value: The site has been in Quaker use since 1681. The present meeting house is used by a number of local community groups. |
