Abstract:		 The meeting house was built in 1816 to replace an earlier meeting house on the same site, but has been very much altered externally and internally. A new small meeting room by Philip Proctor Associates was added at the south end of the building in 2014/5 and the old meeting room was converted to provide ancillary spaces. Overall, the building and site has medium heritage significance. Evidential value: The building has been the subject of a very thorough refurbishment and much of the fabric has been renewed but there is still evidence of past functions and the building is of medium evidential value. Historical value: The site has been in Quaker use since the 1690s and on these grounds the building has high historical value. Aesthetic value: The exterior of the old building is functional and has been altered and little of the original interior survives. The new building is unassuming externally but the modern meeting room is an attractive modern space and the building is of medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The site has been occupied by a Quaker meeting house since the 1690s and with the refurbishment it is expected that use by the wider local community will increase considerably. The building has high communal value.
