Abstract: |
The building has medium heritage significance as a meeting house purpose-built in 1969, by the architect Frederick Gregory who experimented with novel roof forms. Evidential value: There are no known earlier structures on the site, and the building has low evidential value. Historical value: The present meeting house has low historical significance. However, the Wolverhampton Meeting has a long history and the building helps provide the local context for the modern history of Quakerism in Wolverhampton. Aesthetic value: The 1969 meeting house has a functional modern design, set well back from the street; it has medium aesthetic value. The interplay of mono-pitch roofs are a distinctive aspect of the building's design by architect Frederick Gregory. Communal value: The meeting house was built for Quaker use. However, it is also a community resource. The building is used by a number of local groups and has a high communal value. |
