Abstract: |
The Great Ayton site was acquired in 1700 for both a meeting house and a burial ground, and the present building was opened in 1722. From 1841 it was closely associated with the adjacent Quaker school. The building was enlarged and greatly altered in 1967 to allow it to function as a performance space for the school and was again refurbished in 2001, after the school had closed. As a result of these alterations, all sense of the original character of the interior has been lost. The burial ground has been enlarged several times and is now of a considerable size. Overall, the building and burial ground together are of high heritage significance, despite the altered state of the meeting house interior. |
