Description

NRHE data transfer: A modest mid-Victorian meeting house, re-fronted in the 1950s, which replaced an earlier building and is attached to a late seventeenth century burial ground. Overall it is of medium significance. Evidential value: It does not appear that any of the fabric of the original meeting house survives but the Victorian fabric of the existing building and the fittings from Plaistow meeting house give the building medium evidential value. Historical value: There has been a meeting house on or near the present site since approximately 1700. With the associated burial ground the building has medium historical value. Aesthetic value: The building is a modest structure, given some architectural interest by its neo-Georgian front and is of medium aesthetic value. Communal value: As a Quaker meeting house which is in additional community use, the meeting house has high communal value. Information from OASIS Online Form.
