Abstract:
A purpose-built 1960s meeting house in a simple modern style designed by the architect Norman Hyde to replace an earlier building in the town centre. The meeting house is attached to a burial ground which was established in 1864, replacing an earlier town centre burial ground. The meeting house is of medium significance overall. Evidential value: The building was erected on a new site in the 1960s, has been little altered, and is of low evidential value. Historical value: The site was acquired by the Quakers in 1864 for a burial ground, but the meeting house was only erected in 1963. It is of medium historical value Aesthetic value: The building is a typical example of functional 1960s architecture and for that reason is of medium aesthetic value. Communal value: As a Quaker meeting house which is very well used by the local community, the meeting house has high communal value.
