Description
The Friends' Meeting House is a historic building located in Stafford, dated 1730, with a late 19th-century addition. It is constructed of brick and features a tile roof with coped gables. The structure is rectangular and set back from the road, consisting of a single storey with a three-window range. A wooden cornice runs along the top. The entrance, located to the right of the center, has a pegged frame and an altered panelled door, along with a bracketed gabled canopy and a bull's eye window with bull's eye glass above. Below the cornice, there is a datestone. The windows are adorned with rubbed brick flat arches that have fluted keys and cross casements, and there is a small window on the left return. At the rear, there is a single-storey wing adjacent to a window with a pegged frame.
Inside, the meeting house retains original features, including panelling, a gallery with a stair featuring turned balusters, an overseers' bench, and an elders' gallery. This building is considered a well-preserved example of an early meeting house and is recognized as the best of its kind in Staffordshire.
