Abstract: |
Apparently erected as a modest local school in the early twentieth century, the building has been used as a meeting house since the 1930s. Overall it is of medium significance. Evidential value: The building was erected on a greenfield site and is a very simple structure with low evidential value. Historical value: Presumably the building was first erected to serve the developing community of Leigh and is of medium historical value. Aesthetic value: Although the meeting house is a pleasingly unassuming small building with a vaguely vernacular character, it is of no particular aesthetic value. Communal value: As a Quaker meeting house which is in additional community use, the meeting house has high communal value. |
