Abstract: |
The meeting house was built in 1797; the attached burial ground was opened at the same time. There have been some minor alterations to both exterior and interior but the building is substantially intact and still preserves much of its original character. It is of high heritage significance. Evidential value The building still contains many elements of the original arrangements and overall the building is of high evidential value. Historical value A well-preserved example of a small late-eighteenth century rural meeting house with some nineteenth century alterations. The building is of high historical value. Aesthetic value The modest stone exterior of the building is attractive while the interior still preserves a great deal of its original Georgian character. The building as a whole is of high aesthetic value. Communal value The meeting house has been in use for Quaker worship continuously since 1797, but its remote situation has deterred other community users. The building has medium communal value. |
