Abstract: |
The meeting house itself has low heritage significance as a relatively modern, but attractive building. However, Quakers have had a presence in Liverpool since the mid-seventeenth century and the site has high historical significance and some archaeological potential. Evidential value: The meeting house is a modern building with no evidential value. However, it was built on the site of an earlier wing of Bluecoats Chambers (1717) the oldest building in Liverpool. The site has medium evidential value in relation to the archaeological potential of Bluecoats building. Historical value: The meeting house itself has low historical significance, however Liverpool meeting has a long history and this and the nearby former Bluecoat building on the site gives high historical value to the site. Aesthetic value: The building has medium aesthetic value as a well-designed modern meeting house that makes a neutral contribution to the character of the conservation area. Communal value: The meeting house was built for Quaker use and is also a valued community resource. The building is used by a number of local groups and visitors and has a high communal value. |
