Description
The Limes is a former meeting house built between 1761 and 1763. It is constructed of stone and features a slate roof with square gutter corbels. The building has two storeys and five unmoulded cross windows on the ground floor, with five similar two-light windows above. All windows have square-headed lights, which are likely original. There is a doorway located between the third and fourth bays, featuring a moulded surround. An adjoining former schoolroom, built in 1909, is located at the north end but is not included in the listing.
