Abstract: |
A meeting house typical of the 1970s, combining a simple plan with a striking roof form, top-side lit principal rooms and visual engagement with the garden. It has medium heritage significance. Evidential value: The building is evidence of the resources of the Mansfield Quakers, but has no archaeological value. The headstones in the garden have the potential for adding to knowledge about local Quakers. Evidential value overall is relatively low. Historical value: The meeting house demonstrates continuity in the history of the Quakers in Mansfield, a town with very strong associations with George Fox and the origins of the Quaker movement. There is medium historical value. Aesthetic value: The building is typical of mid-twentieth century design, and one of three different designs for the Friends in the Derby and Nottingham area created by the architects Bartlett and Gray. The building has some presence and it demonstrates engagement with the surroundings. There is medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The building is associated with local Friends and offers good facilities for use by local groups, there is medium communal value. |
