Abstract: |
The meeting house was built in 1864-5 to a design by the Quaker architect William Beck. It was built for visiting Friends, rather than a resident meeting. It has medium heritage value. Evidential value: The meeting house was built on the Great Brook Estate which was developed in the early 1860s. It has low evidential value. Historical value: The building is a good example of a Victorian meeting house built during the mid-nineteenth-century expansion of Hastings. It has medium historical value. Aesthetic value: The decorative street elevation lends the building medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house is well-used by the local meeting and local community groups. It has high communal value. |
