Abstract: |
The meeting house and the attached cottage were built in 1786. Hubert Lidbetter built a small rear extension in 1939. As a fine Georgian building with original furnishings the meeting house has high significance. Evidential value: The meeting house is relatively little altered and has high evidential value. Historical value: The meeting house has high historical value due to its illustrative value and the association with the palaeontologist George Bax Holmes who is buried here. Aesthetic value: The building has high aesthetic value, in particularly due to the arched windows with decorative glazing bars. Communal value: The building has high communal value due to its use as a Quaker meeting house which is also in community use. |
