Abstract:
The present meeting house was erected in 1716/17 at the cost of a London Quaker named William Steele, who also gave money to buy the burial ground and is buried there himself. It is a very handsome small building and the galleried interior is very little altered and may incorporate some woodwork from the earlier meeting house, which itself still survives nearby. The building and its immediate setting are of exceptional heritage significance. Evidential value: The meeting house appears to contain most of its original fittings and is of high evidential value. Historical value: A very well-preserved example of an early eighteenth-century meeting house, which has hardly been altered. The building has been in almost continuous use for Quaker worship since 1717 and is of high historical value. Aesthetic value: A handsome small building of considerable architectural quality. The interior still preserves a great deal of its original character, with raised and fielded panelling which is unusually elaborate for a meeting house. The building is of high aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house has been in more or less continuous use for worship since 1717 and has high communal value.
