Abstract: |
The meeting house was built in 1903 by the Plymouth Brethren for their own use, but passed into commercial use after the First World War. It was acquired by the Society of Friends in 1975. The architect has not been identified. The building is a modest but attractive example of Edwardian architecture and is of medium heritage significance. Evidential value: It seems unlikely that there are any archaeological deposits beneath the meeting house which is of low evidential value. Historical value: The building has a varied history, beginning with the Plymouth Brethren and including use as a church hall and a photographic studio. The Quaker connection begins only in 1975. The building is of medium historical value. Aesthetic value: The building is a pleasing and typical example of Edwardian architecture and is of medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house was built in 1903 as a place of public worship. It has been used by Quakers since 1976 and increasingly by other local groups. The building has high communal value. |
