Abstract: |
The meeting house has medium heritage significance, as a Victorian building which was remodelled in the late 1960s and sensitively extended in 2000-1. The aesthetic character of the building reflects the local vernacular and makes a positive contribution to the conservation area. Evidential value: This is a purpose-built structure, built on land formerly owned by the Middleton family. Its archaeological and evidential value is low. Historical value: The meeting house retains some of its historic internal layout but most of the fittings have been removed or covered over. The building has medium historical value. Aesthetic value: The meeting house has medium aesthetic value, it is a good example of local Victorian architecture, designed by well-regarded architects and retains much of its exterior detail. The interior of the meeting house has been diminished slightly by twentieth century alterations, but the recent extension is well-designed. The building makes a positive contribution to the conservation area. Communal value: The site remains in primarily Quaker use, but is also a valued community resource being used by a local nursery. The building has high communal value. |
