Abstract: |
The purpose-built meeting house of 1841 has overall high heritage significance. The building retains high quality nineteenth century internal fittings including vertical sliding shutters and seating. The meeting house is set in an attractive burial ground and includes a former stables and a number of outbuildings collectively making a positive contribution to the conservation area and Dales landscape. Evidential value The building and site have medium evidential values primarily associated with the potential to yield information about the building's construction and past Quaker activity. The site was first in use as a burial ground from 1672. Historical value The meeting house and burial ground have high historic value. The meeting room retains its historic internal layout, as well as high quality joinery dating from the nineteenth century including vertical sliding shutters, elders' stand and gallery. Aesthetic value The meeting house is very much part of the distinctive character of Bainbridge, making use of local materials in a Georgian vernacular style. The exterior, interior spaces and the simplicity of the historic fittings have exceptional aesthetic value. The burial ground has unmarked graves and simple headstones following Quaker tradition, which adds to the aesthetic value of the site. Communal value The site has medium communal value. The area was first used as a burial ground from 1672 and continues to be used as a place of worship today. |
