Description
A plain but handsome meeting house of 1819, built on the burial ground of an earlier meeting house. The main meeting room still preserves much of its original character, but other parts of the interior have been considerably altered in recent years. The building is of high heritage significance. Evidential value: The building is of medium evidential value. Historical value: A reasonably well- preserved example of an early nineteenth century Quaker meeting house with a burial ground established in the eighteenth century, all of high historical value. Aesthetic value: As Pevsner said, this is a delightful little ironstone building with a plain but handsome late Georgian exterior and one well-preserved meeting room. The building is of high aesthetic value. Communal value:The present meeting house has been used by Quakers continuously since 1819, and more recently by other local community groups. The building has high communal value. Information from OASIS Online Form.
