Description
The Friends Meeting House, built in 1868, is a structure made of rubble with rusticated ashlar quoins and tooled ashlar dressings. It features a slate roof with small gable stacks; the left gable is coped with moulded kneelers, while the right gable has bargeboards. The building has one tall storey. The front (north) elevation includes a boarded door with a panel above that reads '1735 REBUILT 1868', a 12-pane sash window to the left, and two 12-pane sash windows to the right. The rear elevation displays two similar windows. All openings are framed in raised stone surrounds, which have raised blocks at the mid-height of the jambs.
