Abstract: |
The meeting house was originally opened in the 1670s but has been very considerably enlarged and altered; the listed building is now partly modern in character. The burial ground also dates from the late seventeenth century. Together the meeting house and burial ground are of medium heritage significance. Evidential value The building contains a limited amount of early fabric and is of medium evidential value. The site has high archaeological potential, with the burial ground and known medieval archaeology. Historical value There has been a meeting house on this site since the 1670s, though not in continuous use. The burial ground has also been in use since the late seventeenth century. Together they are of high historical value. Aesthetic value The main front of the building is covered in twentieth century roughcast and the rear is largely obscured by a modern addition. The interior is relatively bare. The building as a whole is of medium aesthetic value. Communal value The present building house been in use for Quaker worship since 1902 and more recently for other community uses. It is of medium communal value. |
