Description
The Former Friends Meeting House is a building that served as a chapel, dating from the late 17th century to the early 18th century, and has undergone significant alterations. It may have originally been an agricultural building. The structure is made of red brick and features a pantiled roof. The south facade is symmetrical, with a central doorway flanked by four early 19th-century casement windows, all of which have segmental heads. The building has a moulded brick plinth and brick dentil eaves. The north elevation includes fixed lights, and the gables are parapeted. There are two blocked openings in the west gable. On the south side, there is a burial ground that contains the grave of Anna Sewell, the author of "Black Beauty," who lived from 1820 to 1878.
