Abstract: |
A meeting house of 1901 which has been much altered and extended. Its overall heritage significance is low. Evidential value: The primary evidential value lies in the inscribed stone panel on the frontage. There is little otherwise to denote the meeting house function. The building is of low evidential value. Historical value: The meeting was established at this location in 1901, on a site acquired with the support of the Cadbury family. Over a century of Quaker use lends the site medium historical value. Aesthetic value: What survives of the 1901 building is much altered, and the 1970s addition is functional in character. The building is of low aesthetic value. Communal value: The building is used by local groups and charities and as such has high communal value. |
