Abstract: |
Calf Cop meeting house has high significance as a good example of a Yorkshire Quaker meeting house built in the late eighteenth century, retaining some original fittings. The attractive setting among fields, includes a burial ground and allotments. Evidential value: The buildings and burial ground have medium evidential value, as a purpose-built Quaker meeting house site. Historical value: The meeting house has high historical value as a rural meeting house associated with an historic Quaker estate, built to replace an earlier building nearby and on this site. Aesthetic value: The building has high significance for its aesthetic value as a good example of stone meeting house built in Georgian vernacular style, with a little-altered interior. The burial ground and tranquil setting among fields enhances the significance of the building. Communal value: The meeting house used for Quaker worship with the burial ground and allotment gardens have high communal value. |
