Abstract:
The meeting house is a Gothic Revival building of 1876 by Edward Appleton, of an unusual apsed design for a Quaker meeting house. It was built on the site of an earlier meeting house, and the attached burial ground with a fine yew walk was first used in 1691. Both are of medium overall significance. Evidential value: The meeting house retains many original and historic features which provide evidence for the patterns of use of the building. It has medium evidential value. Historical value: The meeting house is the second on the site (built after a period at a meeting house elsewhere in Exeter) and the burials in the attached burial ground go back to 1691, shortly after the site was first acquired. Several local Quakers of note are buried here. The building and site have high historical value. Aesthetic value: The building was designed in the Gothic Revival style and built using high quality local stone. Although the extension of 1992 was sympathetically designed, some alterations such as the UPVC windows and the solar panels on the roof somewhat detract from the overall appearance of the building. It has medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house is well used, both as a Quaker place of worship and by local community groups. It has high communal value.
