Abstract: |
The meeting house was built in 1690 and almost completely rebuilt in 1790, with new fittings. The attached burial ground also dates from 1690. The building was given a new porch, probably c1810.The building still retains much of its original character, including the interior, and is of high heritage significance. Evidential value The main fabric of the building probably incorporates elements of the 1690s meeting house and the interior still contains many elements of the original 1790s arrangements; overall the building has high evidential value. Historical value A well-preserved example of a small late eighteenth-century town-centre meeting house, which is of high historical value. Aesthetic value The stone exterior of the building is largely concealed from public view and makes only a modest contribution to the character of the Conservation Area. The interior still preserves a great deal of its original character. The building is of high aesthetic value. Communal value The site has been used for Quaker worship continuously since 1690. It is now also used for other community activities and has high communal value. |
