Abstract: |
The meeting house is a converted Plymouth Brethren Chapel which originally was two cottages. It has medium significance. Evidential value: The building was derelict by 2009 and much had to be replaced and repaired during the conversion. The original planform of the cottages or the chapel is no longer readily apparent, although the outer walls still contain original fabric. The meeting house has medium evidential value. Historical value: The building is part of the later development of a medieval burgage plot behind the main street. It was a Plymouth Brethren Chapel from c.1850 to c.1950. It has medium historical value. Aesthetic value: The building is a vernacular building of local stone with two large round-arched windows to the rear. The windows and most of the interior date from 2013. The building has medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The building was a Plymouth Brethren chapel for about a hundred years and is now a Quaker meeting house which is also used by local community groups. It has high communal value. |
