Abstract: |
The meeting house is a good example dating from the very early nineteenth century by a builder/architect who designed meeting houses elsewhere in the country. Elements of the original plan form survive. Evidential value: The building is evidence for the resources of the Quakers in Derby and it exhibits successive alterations reflecting the changing needs and circumstances of the meeting. There is medium evidential value. Historical value: The meeting house is a good example of a building which reflects traditional plan form combined with typical early nineteenth century elevational treatment. It is also significant for the association with the builder who designed meeting houses elsewhere. There is high historic value. Aesthetic value: The front elevation of the building and its setting within a walled area is attractive and typical of the periods represented. There is medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The building is available for use by local community groups and there is medium communal value. |
