Abstract: |
As a relatively modern building, the meeting house itself has low heritage significance. The present meeting house replaces a meeting house of 1815 on the same site. In front of the meeting house is a burial ground which dates back to the beginning of the nineteenth century; the site has medium significance. Evidential value: The current meeting house is a modern building with no evidential value. The site includes a burial ground which is at least as old as the earliest meeting house here, c1815, with several marked graves. The site and the burial ground have medium evidential value. Historical value: Being of relatively recent date, the meeting house has low historical value. The site has overall high historical value with the present meeting house replacing an earlier building of 1815 set within a burial ground. The headstones in the burial ground can provide further information relating to local Quaker families in the area. Aesthetic value: The meeting house is a functional modern design, and has relatively low aesthetic value. The building is located within an attractive burial ground with a stone boundary wall which contributes to the aesthetic value of the overall site. Communal value: The building is in use as a Quaker meeting house and for community groups. This and the presence of the burial ground give the building and site considerable communal value. |
