Abstract:
The Chesterfield meeting house is a good example of late twentieth century design which exhibits clever adaptation to an awkward site and imaginative engagement with the surroundings. The interior is flexible and well-planned. Evidential value:The building is evidence for the presence and resources of the Quakers in Chesterfield in the late twentieth century and the gravestones from the Saltergate burial ground provide a link with the past. There is relatively low evidential value. Historical value: Historical value is located in the evidence for Quaker presence on the site since the late twentieth century and historical links with the previous meeting house and burial ground is provided by the gravestones. There is relatively low historical value. Aesthetic value: The building has been identified as one of few twentieth century nonconformist buildings in Derbyshire to adopt an imaginative architectural approach (Hartwell, Pevsner and Williamson, forthcoming). The massing of the building and engagement with the surroundings are salient features, and the building is of medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The building is popular with local groups and has attractive flexible spaces. There is medium communal value.
