Abstract: |
The meeting house is a small former schoolroom of the 1890s with mid and later twentieth century additions. It has medium heritage value for the former schoolroom. Evidential value: The former schoolroom, the oldest part of the building, has been considerably altered, but still has medium evidential value. Historical value: The meeting house is a relatively recent building, but is associated with a strong Quaker tradition in St Albans dating back to the 1670s. This gives it a medium historical value. Aesthetic value: The schoolroom is a very simple structure and the later additions are also modest. The building has low aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house has been used by Quakers and other local groups since the 1930s and has high communal value. |
