Description
The Howgills Society of Friends Meeting House is a building completed in 1907 by the architects Bennett and Bidwell. It serves as a public hall and is designed in a free-style manner characteristic of this architectural firm. The Meeting Room draws inspiration from "Briggflatts" in Yorkshire. The building is two storeys high with an irregular facade featuring three bays, including a central entrance bay that projects and is topped with a gable. It has a tiled roof with hips and gables, and tall brick chimney stacks with moulded caps, including one on the front facade that has weathered offsets. The walls are roughcast, and the windows are stone, mullioned casements with leaded lights and tile labels. The entrance is recessed and has a segmental arch with boarded double doors, and there is a plaque in Art Nouveau style located in the porch.
