Abstract: |
Keighley Quaker Meeting House is an attractive compact stone building constructed in 1936. It is significant as the latest building associated with the Quakers who have been present in the Keighley area since the 1650s. The building is a modest example of inter-war architecture designed in domestic style. Evidential value: The building has low evidential value, as a 1930s building built on a former Victorian garden. Historical value: It is significant as the latest building associated with local Quakers who first met in Keighley in the 1650s. Previous meeting houses in the town have been demolished. Aesthetic value: The building has medium significance as a modest example of inter-war architecture designed in domestic style by local architect Joseph Wood. The well-tended garden and stone walls enhance its aesthetic value. Communal value: The building is significant as the place used for Quaker meetings in Keighley since 1936, and is also now well-used by local community groups. |
