EDO6126 - Quaker Meeting House, Dorchester; historic building survey 2016

A meeting house adapted in 1978 from a public house built in 1925. The exterior is largely unchanged but the interior has seen some alteration. The building is of medium heritage significance overall. Evidential value: The building was previously a pub, occupying the site of an earlier pub and is of medium evidential value. Historical value: The site was apparently occupied by a pub for many years before the erection of the present pub building in 1925 and this past use gives the site at least medium historical value. Aesthetic value: The building is a pleasing and typical example of inter-war public house architecture and is of medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house has been used by Quakers since 1978 and also by other local groups. The building has high communal value. Information from OASIS Online Form.
