Abstract: |
Almeley Wootton meeting house is an interesting example of a vernacular timber-framed building built as a meeting house in 1672, by Quaker Roger Prichard. It has high significance for the building, furnishings and the associated burial ground. Evidential value: The meeting house and burial ground are considered to have medium archaeological potential and evidential value, relating to the fabric of the building and the archaeology of the site and burial ground. Historical value: The meeting house has historic value for its association with a particular Quaker, Roger Prichard who built and gave the building to the local meeting, a typical example of late seventeenth century meeting house provision. The historic burial ground contains headstones of local Quaker families and the whole site has high historic value. Aesthetic value:The meeting house is a good example of local vernacular architecture, built in the timber-framed tradition of the area. The grounds, burial ground and rural setting enhance its high aesthetic value. Communal value:The meeting house is mainly used by the Quaker community and although it has potential for wider use, at present this is not realised. Communal value is medium. |
