Abstract: |
The building has high heritage significance as a rare example of a Quaker mission hall, purpose-built in the late-nineteenth century and still in use for its original purpose. Evidential value: As a single phase building, the building has little potential to yield evidence of past human activity and it is unlikely there is below-ground archaeology. It is of low evidential value. Historical value: As a rare survival illustrating a distinctive phase of Quaker activity, the mission building is of high historical value. Aesthetic value: Apart from some modest structural ornament on the front, the building is an economical and functional design with medium aesthetic value. Communal value: In its heyday, during the first half of the twentieth century, the mission was a very active and important party of this maritime community and a pioneer of adult education. The level of activity is now much less but the mission hall is still of high communal value. |
