Abstract: |
The building has medium heritage significance as a purpose-built inter-war meeting house which contributes to the local street scene, with some original furnishings and fittings. Evidential value: As a relatively plain inter-war building built on the site of an orchard, the meeting house and its site are of low evidential value. Historical value: The meeting house has medium historical value, due to its association with the architect Leonard Brown and Quaker workers at Baker Perkins. Aesthetic value: The building's design is typical for the interwar period, combining vernacular revival features (such as the pitched roof) with metal-framed windows. Later alterations somewhat diminish the simple quality of the design. The building has low aesthetic value. Communal value: The building has high communal value due to its primary use as a meeting house and its additional use by local community groups. |
