Description
The Quaker Meeting House is a building located on Ring O' Bells Lane in Disley. Originally constructed around 1700, it has undergone alterations from the late 18th century onwards. The structure was formerly two houses and later served as the Ring O' Bells public house before becoming a Quaker Meeting House and cottage in 1940. It is built from coursed, squared, buff sandstone rubble and features a Kerridge stone-slate roof with three stone chimneys.
The building has a long rectangular plan and is two stories high, with an irregular seven-bay front. This includes one blocked two-light chamfered mullion and horizontal sliding sashes with 8, 18, and 32 panes set in plain reveals. The entrance is towards the center and is sheltered by a hipped 20th-century rubble stone porch with a Welsh slate roof. There is also a blocked door to the right, which has a shallow hood mould. The rear of the building features a mix of two and three-light horizontal sliding sashes, along with one partly-blocked three-light mullion.
Inside, the building retains features from its time as a late 19th-century beer house, including a long open gallery above. There is also one early 19th-century iron basket grate set in a partly blocked large earlier surround.
