Abstract: |
Hogsty End (now Woburn Sands) was one of the most important early Quaker centres in Buckinghamshire. Now laid down as a meeting house, the present building is not of special architectural interest but the site as a whole is of medium heritage value. Evidential value: The present meeting house stands on the site of an earlier seventeenth century building and the burial ground has been in use since the 1680s, so the site has medium evidential value. Historical value: Hogsty End was one of the earliest meetings in this area and the site has high historical value. Aesthetic value: The present building is a pleasant late Victorian structure in the Vernacular Revival style and is of medium heritage value. Communal value: A building on this site was used by Quakers almost continuously between 1673 and 1947. After that date the present building became a public library, and will now serve the local community as a day nursery. It has high communal value. |
