Abstract:
The building has high heritage significance as a purpose-built meeting house replacing an earlier meeting house on a site acquired in the 1660s. Built in the eighteenth century and later altered and extended, the building retains some historic fittings and features and has an adjoining burial ground. Evidential value: The interior of the meeting house retains a gallery and elders' seating. The fabric of the building and the burials on the site could yield further evidence about the building construction, and past patterns of Quaker life and worship in Banbury. The building and the site have high evidential value. Historical value: This has been a site of Quaker worship since the late seventeenth century. It retains much of its historic layout and a number of original or early features, including the elders' stand and dado panelling. The simple headstones of the burial ground remain. The meeting house and burial ground have high historical value. Aesthetic value: This is a typical meeting house design of the mid-eighteenth century, being rectangular in plan, with a hipped tile roof. Inside it has a gallery at one end and the elders' seating at the other. It makes a notable and positive contribution to the local conservation area. The meeting house has high aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house remains in primarily Quaker use, but is also a community resource. The meeting house has high communal value.
