Abstract: |
A meeting house of 1790/91, probably designed by John Bevans and probably built on the site of an earlier meeting house. The meeting house is attached to an extensive burial ground established in 1682. The building has been enlarged and the main meeting room has been altered but still preserves something of its original character. The site as a whole is of high heritage significance. Evidential value: The building stands on an earlier site and is of medium evidential value. Historical value: A reasonably well- preserved example of a late eighteenth-century Quaker meeting house with a large burial ground established in the 1680s, all of high historical value. Aesthetic value: The exterior of the original building is attractive, but its original character has been somewhat altered by later alterations and. The building is of medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The present meeting house has been used by Quakers continuously since 1791, and more recently has been well-used by other local community groups. The building has high communal value. |
