Abstract: |
The meeting house at Kelso has some heritage significance as a former service wing at the rear of a listed Georgian town house. It was adapted for Quaker use in 2000, and retains a few historic features, but most of the interior is modern. Evidential value: The site and grounds may have archaeological potential, as Kelso has origins as a medieval town. Historical value: The building has medium historical value as part of a late Georgian domestic site in Kelso. It has been associated with the Quakers for less than 20 years, and has low significance for this connection. Aesthetic value: The building has high architectural value as part of the rear wing to a late Georgian town house, retaining its historic domestic character and features such as sash windows and two plain fireplaces. The walled garden accessed from Abbey Row is part of the setting. Communal value: The meeting house has high communal value as a place of Quaker worship since 2000 and as a building valued by the wider community. |
