Friends Meeting House, Kirby Stephen
Friends Meeting House, Preston Patrick Preston Patrick, Milnthorpe, LA7 7QZ National Grid Reference: SD 54228 84035 Statement of Significance Preston Patrick Meeting House has high significance as the site of a meeting house and burial ground since the 1690s. The current building is a modest, attractive example of a Victorian meeting house with attached cottage, incorporating some earlier joinery and structure. The site also contains a cottage, gig house, stable and schoolroom block and the tranquil rural setting in 1652 Country is part of its importance. Evidential value The meeting house has high evidential value, as a building incorporating fabric from the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The site, including the burial ground is likely to have archaeological potential. Historical value Quakerism has a long history in this area; George Fox spoke nearby in 1652 and the Westmorland Seekers were active in Preston Patrick; Mabel Benson, John Camm, John Audland and other Westmorland Seekers are buried in the burial ground. The building has high historical significance as a late 17th century meeting house, rebuilt in 1876. The gig house, stables and schoolroom also have high historical value and illustrate past Quaker transport provision and commitment to local education. Aesthetic value The meeting house has medium aesthetic significance as a modest example of a Victorian meeting house that retains some earlier joinery, but the site as a whole has high aesthetic value for the tranquil rural setting and the ensemble of historic Quaker buildings. Communal value The meeting house has high communal value as the local focus for Friends since 1691, but it is not well used by the community outside the Friends due to its rural location. -
