Abstract: |
The meeting house was built in c.1711 on a site owned by the local Quaker Caleb Woods. The burial ground was first used in 1709. Overall, the meeting house has high significance. Evidential value: The fabric of the meeting house has the potential to reveal further information about its history and development. The building and the attached burial grounds have high evidential value. Historical value: The meeting house is an early eighteenth-century building which is largely unaltered. It has historical associations with generations of local Quakers and, in particular, the diarist Mary Waring who is buried here. It has high historical value. Aesthetic value: The meeting house comprises a fine meeting room with near-symmetrical elevations and a wing of more vernacular character. The picturesquely asymmetrical plan, the use of local materials and the patina of age give the building high aesthetic value. Communal value: The building was built as a Quaker meeting house and, more recently, has been also in additional community use. It has high communal value. |
