Description

The Friends' Meeting House, built in 1689 and altered in the 18th century, features additions made in 1910. The building is constructed of roughcast and brick, topped with pantile roofs and a rear wall stack. It has a plinth and renewed brick coped gables, standing two storeys high with garrets and three bays. At the rear, there is a catslide roofed outshut.

The south front includes an angled porch on the left with a curved coped wall and a half-glazed door from the 19th century. To the right, there are three glazing bar sash windows, with the leftmost window being larger. Above, on the left, are two 2-light casements, and further right is a set back gabled entrance from the 1910 addition.

Inside, the meeting room features a panelled dado and a dais at the east end with a 17th-century turned balustrade. The north side has a round-headed arcade with three bays from the 18th century, along with three stop-chamfered beams. The west end contains an altered dogleg stair with a winder, square newels, and turned balusters that match those of the dais. The upper flight has square balusters in a Classical style, and the roof is supported by principal rafters with a single collar.
