Abstract: |
Sale meeting house is a good example of a suburban mid-nineteenth century meeting house set within a large burial ground. The building retains much architectural and historic character and the burial ground makes an important contribution to local amenity. Evidential value: The building has medium evidential value as the interior illustrates the changing uses of the ground floor. The burial ground has the potential for adding to the fund of knowledge about local Quakers. Historical value: The site has high historical significance reflecting local Quaker history, with interments from a closed burial ground in Manchester. The building is historically interesting as an example of a nineteenth-century structure combining stables, dwelling and meeting house. The ensemble of building and large burial ground has high historical significance, and illustrates the Quaker presence in the expanding suburbs of Manchester. Aesthetic value: The building is of modest architectural ambition with a little decoration. The grounds are highly attractive in the local scene. Overall, the building and site have medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house has a strong connection with the community through use of the premises by local groups and public access to the grounds. There is high communal value. |
