Abstract: |
The meeting house is characterised by its low-key design and plain materials. The building has relatively low heritage value and architectural significance and its value is mainly communal. Evidential value: This is a purpose-built structure of relatively recent date. The Birmingham Historic Environment Record has not identified the site for any archaeological interest. Historical value: The meeting house overall has medium historical significance. Internally, furnishings from the former Friends Institute provide a local context of the evolution of the Meeting and strong associations with the Cadbury family. Aesthetic value: This modern building has medium aesthetic value and makes a neutral contribution to the character of the townscape. Communal value: The meeting house has high communal value as a building developed for the Quakers which has been in use since it opened in 1983. The building provides a local community focus and its facilities used by a number of local groups. |
