Abstract: |
A meeting house of 1846 with an attached cottage and several extensions. The most significance feature is the unusual vertical sliding partition. Overall, the building has medium significance. Evidential value: The meeting house has the potential to reveal further information about its development and use. It has medium evidential value. Historical value: The meeting house is one of probably only two in England with a vertical sliding partition. This lends the building high historical value. Aesthetic value: Despite the extensions, the character of the original exterior is still discernible. Inside, the screen and the main meeting room are of particular aesthetic interest. The building has medium aesthetic value. Communal value: As a Quaker meeting house which is also in regular use by the local community, the building has high communal value. |
