Abstract: |
The meeting house has low heritage significance as a small inter-war building which was extended in the 1990s. There is a historic burial ground to the rear and a detached classroom of the 1950s. The site is currently under threat of redevelopment. Evidential value: The building has low evidential value. The site has high archaeological potential due to the presence of burials and, possibly, below-ground evidence of the 1803 meeting house on the site. Historical value: The meeting house is an interwar building with a later extension. It has low historical value. Aesthetic value: The building work of the 1990s has removed most of the inter-war character of the building. It has low aesthetic value. Communal value: As a Quaker place of worship which is also well-used by the local community, the meeting house has high communal value. |
