Abstract:		 The meeting house has high heritage significance as a building of 1833 with some original furnishings, and is set in an older burial ground. Evidential value: The meeting house was built in 1833 on the site of a 1706 meeting house. Quakers have been buried on the site since 1706. Romano-British pottery had been found on nearby sites. All of these lend the building and its burial ground high evidential value. Historical value: The building retains most of its original elevations and planform as well as some fittings, notably two timber partitions forming a corridor. These illustrate early nineteenth-century Quaker usage of meeting houses. It is associated with the local physician and botanist Dr Robert Courthope Sims. It has high historical value. Aesthetic value: Despite a modern extension, the meeting house retains several decorative features, such as recessed brick panels and a segmental pediment, which make the involvement of a (hitherto unidentified) architect likely. It has medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The building has spiritual value due to its primary purpose as a Quaker meeting house. For over fifty years it has also been used as a pre-school nursery and will figure as such in the collective memory of many people. It has high communal value.
