Description
The Religious Society of Friends Meeting House, originally a public house, dates from the early 18th century and underwent alterations in the late 18th century and restoration in 1967. The building is constructed of brick, rendered and colorwashed, with plaintile roofs. It has two storeys and an attic, featuring two ranges. The south range includes a double-leaf glazed public house door on the right, sheltered by a hood on consoles, and a three-light casement window with arched lights to the left, along with a similar two-light window above. There is a 19th-century public house door to the left of the elevation. The roof is gabled and hipped to the south, with an internal stack at the north gable end and a 20th-century hipped dormer on the south slope. The north range has one storey and an attic, lit by two three-light casement windows with arched lights at the front, and features an attic hay-loft door at the gable end. The interior has been opened out, with plain bridging beams in the ground-floor rooms, and the main roof structure is a late clasped purlin design.
