The building has medium heritage significance as a purpose-built inter-war meeting house designed by the Quaker architect Hubert Lidbetter. Evidential value: This is a purpose-built structure of 1939, and is not on a site of a former meeting house. It is of low evidential value. Historical value: The meeting house has medium historical value, as a relatively recent building typical of the small and plain meeting houses designed by Hubert Lidbetter in the twentieth century. It has strong associative value with the architect. Aesthetic value: The meeting house is modest and small-scale and like most Quaker meeting houses, is a building of simplicity. The building is well-designed and in its use of materials typical for the period. It has medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The building's primary use is as a Quaker meeting house but is also used by a number of community groups. The meeting house has high communal value. |
