Abstract:		 The modest building has medium significance as an altered example of a plain former meeting house built in 1742, extended and altered in the late nineteenth century. It has an attractive setting on the edge of a village in north-west Cumbria, and is currently used by an evangelical congregation. Evidential value: The building and site have medium evidential value primarily associated with the potential to yield information about the building's eighteenth century construction from the fabric, and about the earlier meeting house on the site, from below-ground archaeology. Historical value: The meeting house site has high historic value, associated with a meeting house built here in 1687. The meeting house retains its historic internal layout, with later fittings reflecting a late nineteenth century refurbishment. Aesthetic value: The meeting house is typical of the local vernacular architecture with characteristic rendered walls and plain stone window surrounds, and has a distinctive position on the edge of the village enclosed by walls. The interior of the meeting room has a plain Victorian character with pine fittings designed for their utility, including the panelled vertically sliding screen. Communal value: The building is used by a local evangelical Christian community, but is not used by other groups. It has medium community value as a place of worship, with a historical association with Quakers.
