Abstract: |
The meeting house was converted in the early 1970s from a late Victorian house with some earlier elements and has been slightly enlarged since then. As a whole the fabric is of medium heritage significance. Evidential value: The meeting house incorporates fabric from the later eighteenth century and later nineteenth century, all of which may illuminate the past function of the building. The slate lining of the internal walls of the nineteenth-century building is a rare known example of this practice. The building is of high evidential value. Historical value: Quakerism in Bradford on Avon has a history dating back to the 1660s, but the present site was only acquired by the Quakers in the late 1960s. The site has medium historical value, principally for its pre-Quaker existence. Aesthetic value: The street front of the building is a pleasing example of late Victorian domestic architecture and the building is of medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house has been used by Quakers continuously since the 1970s and is also well-used by other local groups. The building has high communal value. |
