Abstract: |
Statement of Significance: High significance as a good example of an early nineteenth-century meeting house retaining original interior features, arranged to a typical, distinctive floor plan. It has an attractive rural setting within a burial ground, and there are historical associations with the local industrialist Jackson family. Evidential value: The building is of one principal phase and is associated with a burial ground. The fabric of the building and the burials could yield further evidence about the history of the site and its associations, while the stable and coach house addition is evidence of continuing use of the site and investment in it. It has medium evidential value. Historical value: The building substantially retains its exterior appearance and historic internal layout. It is within a contemporary burial ground and in close proximity to Calder House, a former home of the Jackson family, local industrialists and Quakers who were patrons of the meeting. The building and burial ground have high historical significance. Aesthetic value:The building has high aesthetic value as a good example of a modest vernacular meeting house, representative of the building type. Its aesthetic value is enhanced by the burial ground and rural setting. Communal value:The meeting house is in largely Quaker use and it is remotely sited, so is not extensively used by other groups, however it is an important element of the historical character of the area and has medium communal value. |
