Abstract: |
A small octagonal meeting room of the early 1990s designed by the Quaker architect William Barnes, which was added to a modest pre-existing dwelling of the 1960s. Taken overall the building is of low heritage significance. Evidential value: Both the meeting house and the dwelling attached are modern buildings but there may be some archaeological remains of industrial structures from the period when the site was used as a canal-side wharf and the site as a whole is of medium evidential value. Historical value: Quakers in Devizes have a long history but the present meeting house building is of little historical value. Aesthetic value: The meeting house is unremarkable externally but the main meeting room is a pleasant space of medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house is well- used by Quakers and by other local groups and the building has high communal value. |
