Abstract: |
An attractive simple building of the early eighteenth century, with an interior which has preserved something of its original character. The meeting house is of high heritage significance. Evidential value: Much of the building fabric is probably original but there may be traces of subsequent alterations and refurbishments. The building is of medium evidential value. Historical value: The historical value of the building fabric is enhanced by the existence of the Oakham Meeting minute book (now in the county record office), which documents the regular business of the Meeting from 1675 to 1754. The meeting house is of high historical value. Aesthetic value: The exterior of the building is attractive and the interior still preserves something of its original simple character. The building is of high aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house has been used by members of the Oakham community continuously since 1720, either as a Quaker meeting house, or as a meeting place for other groups. The building has high communal value. |
