Abstract:		 The building was erected in 1850 on the site of an earlier meeting house of the 1680s. It was designed by J. F. Cotterell, a Quaker architect from Bath who was a friend of the Clark family, the Quaker proprietors of the shoe-making business sited next to the meeting house which bears their name and flourished in Street from the 1820s. The two main meeting rooms still retain much of their original character and the whole is of high heritage significance. Evidential value: The burial ground may contain burials dating from the late seventeenth century. Overall, the site and building are of medium evidential value. Historical value: The strong association with the Clark family of Street gives the building high historical value. Aesthetic value: J. F. Cotterell's building is a handsome structure, and the main elements of his elegant and practical design have survived more or less intact. The building makes an important contribution to the character of the town and is of high aesthetic value. Communal value: The building has been used by Quakers, since its opening in 1850. More recently the building has also been much used by other local groups. The building has high communal value.
