Abstract:		 The meeting house is an example of a functional modern mid-twentieth century building and has low heritage value. The present building replaces a former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on this site, in use as a meeting house from 1805. It occupies an attractive site set within a burial ground acquired in 1835. Evidential value: The current meeting house is a modern building with no evidential value. However, it was built on the site of an earlier meeting house, a former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, with an attached burial ground. The site and the burial ground to the rear have high evidential value. Historical value: The present meeting house has low historical significance, but the site has high historical value as the meeting place of Quakers since 1805. The burial ground dates back to 1835 and contains nineteenth-century gravestones. Aesthetic value: The meeting house has low aesthetic value but is an example of the functional modern traditions of mid twentieth century architecture. Communal value: The meeting house has high communal value as a building developed for the Quakers and in use since it opened in 1965. The building provides a local community focus and its facilities are used by a number of local groups.
