Abstract: |
A meeting house of 1821, built on a narrow site in the heart of medieval Hereford. The building incorporates an existing industrial building, and is of several phases of construction. The interior has been much altered but retains some early nineteenth century features. The meeting house has a small burial ground to the rear, dating from the nineteenth century. The site as a whole is of medium to high heritage significance, although the meeting is not listed. Evidential value: The building incorporates an existing flannel warehouse or factory and the site is likely to have high archaeological potential due its location within the former walled area of the medieval city. The site has high evidential value and the building is of medium evidential value. Historical value: The meeting house has been on this site since 1821, and before this was on another site in the city. The building and site has medium historical value as an example of infill development in the heart of the city, and its association with local Quakers. Aesthetic value: The red brick building is plain and functional, and as it located on the rear of a city centre plot it does not contribute to the wider street scene. The interior has been much altered, but retains some early nineteenth century features. The building is of medium aesthetic value. |
