Abstract: |
Sheffield Meeting House is the latest in a series of meeting houses built in this part of Sheffield city centre since the late seventeenth century. It was built in 1990; it has low significance for its heritage value. Evidential value. As a relatively modern building, the building has low significance for evidential and archaeological values. The site is considered to have relatively low archaeological potential although it is close to the core of medieval Sheffield. Historical value The building is associated with the long history of Quakers in Sheffield, but the current meeting house and site has low historical significance. Aesthetic value The building has medium significance for its architectural value. According Harman and Minnis it is 'unostentatious but confidently Postmodern'. It makes a neutral contribution to the conservation area. Communal value The meeting house has high communal value, as a place for Quaker meetings and as a well-used community venue. |
