Abstract: |
An attractive building of the late eighteenth century, enlarged in 1813 and with interiors which have preserved much of their original character. The meeting house is of high heritage significance. Evidential value: Much of the original building of 1787 is presumably incorporated in the present structure, which is of medium evidential value. Historical value : As the statutory list entry observes, this is an unusually well preserved example of an early Quaker meeting house and is of high historical value. Aesthetic value: The exterior of the building is attractive and the interior still preserves much of its original simple character. The building is of high aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house has been used by Quakers continuously since the 1790s and more recently by other local groups. The building has high communal value. |
