Abstract:		 The meeting house has medium heritage significance for historic and architectural value. The overall site has high heritage value as a site in use as a Quaker burial ground from 1668 and the site of a barn first used by Coventry Meeting for worship. Evidential value: This building was purpose-built in the 1950s on a site which was in use for Quaker burials since 1668. The first place of worship for Quakers was within a barn also located on this site. The general area of Hill Street is identified as an Archaeological Constraint Area, Hill Street Medieval Suburb. The site has high evidential value. Historical value: The site of the meeting house has high historical value, Hill Street was purchased for use as a Quaker burial ground and a barn on site was previously used for worship in 1668. The Coventry Meeting re-located to two other purpose-built meeting houses before returning to the location of the present day meeting house on the site of the old burial ground. The long history of the meeting provides a local context of the evolution of Quakers in the area. Aesthetic value: This 1950s building has medium aesthetic value and makes a neutral contribution to the character of the conservation area. Communal value: The meeting house has high communal value as a building developed for the Quakers and in use since it opened in 1953. The building provides a local community focus and its facilities are used by a large number of local groups.
