Abstract:
Statement of Significance The meeting house has overall medium heritage significance as a much altered and extended example of an eighteenth-century purpose-built meeting, associated with the long history of Quakers on this city centre site. It contributes positively to the conservation area. Evidential value The older buildings on the site are considered to have medium evidential value, while the overall site has high evidential value, due to its below-ground archaeological potential. Historical value The history of the Quaker presence on the site dates back to at least 1700. The current meeting house was the first purpose-built meeting room on the site. The buildings are associated with various prominent Quakers, as well as the benefactors and Friends Ann Docwra and Caroline Stephen. The complex has high historical value, due to illustrative and associative values. Aesthetic value The eighteenth-century meeting house and the 1960s block both have low aesthetic value as relatively plain buildings with few features. No.11 Jesus Lane has medium aesthetic value. Communal value The complex has high communal value as a Quaker meeting house which is also used by local community groups. Its association with Quakers and its long history is highlighted by a plaque which contributes to the buildings' key part in the memory and identity of users, visitors and local residents.
