Abstract:		 The meeting house has high heritage significance as an early nineteenth-century building with original fittings and furnishings and a historic burial ground. Evidential value: The meeting house is a timber-framed structure of 1806 with an attached burial ground. It was built in the garden of the medieval Buck's House, and the site is located in the historic centre of Great Bardfield, a village with Anglo-Saxon origins. The building and the site have high evidential value. Historical value: The meeting house has a high illustrative value, as it retains several original features, such as the partition between the two rooms. It is associated with notable local Quaker families, such as the Buck and the Smith families. It has several burials of local and national importance. Overall, it has high historical value. Aesthetic value: The meeting house is a vernacular building of the Georgian period. Its local materials and slight asymmetry (possibly due to the timber-framed construction) contribute to its aesthetic value, as does its setting in the historic burial ground. The modern extension was designed in sympathetic forms and materials. Overall, the building has high aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house has a commemorative and symbolic function, not only for the local meeting but also for the wider community for whom it forms an important part of the historic streetscape. The building's primary function as a meeting house lends it spiritual value, while the community use gives it social value. Overall, the meeting house has high communal value.
