3A And 5, Blackhorse Lane

This is a cottage and workshop, originally built as a chapel in 1719. It was altered in 1788 and a rear wing was added in 1879. The roof is now slate and corrugated iron, replacing an original thatched roof. The roof is half-hipped to the west and has a parapet gable to the east, with an end stack where the upper courses have been rebuilt, and a modern brick ridge stack. The building is one storey with an attic. It features a sawtooth brick eaves cornice and a cornice to a later brick porch. There are two three-light casement windows on the west side, and a four-paned hung sash window and a boarded door to the east of the gabled porch. The building was formerly The Old Quaker Meeting house and served as a centre for the Temperance Reformers. Number 3a on the left is now the cottage, and number 5 on the right is the workshop. Records from the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments (RCHM) by Stell, in the volume "Cambridgeshire chapels," document the building.
