Abstract: |
The Bristol area was a major centre of Quakerism in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The present meeting house is relatively recent in date, having been built in 1962 as the successor to Quakers Friars, a major building of the mid-eighteenth century (now in secular use). It is on the site of a burial ground associated with the adjoining Quaker workhouse (now flats). Although the present building is of overall low significance, it occupies a site of high evidential and historical value, and the building is of high communal value. |
