Description
Quaker House is a former Quaker chapel that is attached to a farmhouse and dates from the 18th century. The building is constructed of brick and has a pantile roof. It has a centrally planned rectangular shape and is a single storey high. The entrance facade is symmetrical and consists of three bays, featuring a two-leaf raised and fielded panelled door with an architrave doorcase and a flat hood supported by carved brackets. There are a pair of flanking windows beneath segmental arches. The north window frame is original and of the mullion and transom type, with two lights and a metal casement that retains its original ironmongery, along with some surviving leaded glazing. The building has a sawtooth cornice and a hipped roof.
Inside, there is a plaster vault with penetrating barrels, and a pair of galleries with simple square-section balusters. The galleries are supported by Roman Doric columns, also of square section, which have exaggerated entasis. A pulpit pew remains opposite the entrance. The adjoining farmhouse is not of special interest.
