Abstract: |
A former schoolroom belonging to the adjoining early nineteenth-century Congregational chapel, which makes a positive contribution to the local conservation area. It has been a Quaker meeting house since the 1980s. Overall, it is of medium evidential, historical, aesthetic and communal value. Evidential value: The building opened as a meeting house only in 1986; its evidential value as a place of Quaker worship is therefore low. It has medium evidential value for its association with the chapel. Historical value: Built in 1895, the building has medium historical value for its contribution to the history of nonconformity and education in Marlborough. Aesthetic value: The building is not prominent in public views, and has been altered, but nevertheless has medium aesthetic value for its contribution to the group of former church buildings and to the townscape of The Parade. Communal value: The building is well used by community groups as well as by Friends, and is of high communal value. |
