Abstract: |
The meeting house is a good example of a 1960s purpose-built meeting house in a modernist design. It makes a neutral contribution to the conservation area and has medium heritage significance. Evidential value The site of the meeting house was formerly a playground and gymnasium for Belmont School. The building and site has low evidential value. Historical value The present meeting house has low historical significance, however it is associated with Quakers' long presence in the Harrogate area. The first meeting house in Oxford Street was built primarily to accommodate the increasing number of visitors to the area to visit the spa town. Aesthetic value This modernist building has medium aesthetic value and makes a neutral contribution to the character of the conservation area. Communal value The site has been in Quaker use since 1966 and is well used by a number of local community groups. The meeting house has high communal value. |
