Abstract: |
The meeting house is a small former village reading room of the 1880s with minor later twentieth century additions. It has medium heritage value for the former reading room. Evidential value: The former reading room has been considerably altered, but still has medium evidential value. Historical value: The building has only been used as a meeting house since the 1930s but was built as a Village Reading Room. This original function gives it medium historical value. Aesthetic value: The meeting house is an unassuming example of a building in the Vernacular Revival style characteristic of the later nineteenth century and on this account has medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house has been used by Quakers and other local groups since the 1880s and has high communal value. |
