Description
The Friends Meeting House is a former Quaker meeting house, now used as a Methodist church hall, dating from the late 17th century. It is constructed of sandstone rubble and has a stone slate roof. The building is single storey with chamfered cross windows that seem to have been restored. The east wall features four bays and has a chimney on the right-hand gable. The west wall currently has only three windows, as a later addition covers the left-hand side. The interior has a flat ceiling and does not retain any original features.
