Abstract: |
The building has exceptional heritage significance as a fine example of a modest mid-eighteenth century meeting house, retaining much of its original interior simplicity and Georgian fittings, in an unspoilt rural setting. Evidential value: It appears that the building is still much as first built, though there may have been some minor alterations to the internal arrangements. For this reason it is of high evidential value. Historical value: The site and the building have high historical value, as an eighteenth century Quaker site, although it appears that the Quaker community at North Walsham has always been small, despite the huge size of the nearby burial ground, and there are no notable historical associations. Aesthetic value: The building has exceptional aesthetic value as the epitome of a modest Georgian Quaker meeting house, with an interior that retains its original simplicity and fittings. Communal value: There appear to have been periods in the building's history when it was little-used and its isolated situation must have always limited its importance to the wider community. It is of medium communal value. |
