Holyrood Hall

Former Quaker Meeting House, built around 1860 but with some remaining fabric from possible C17 origins. Extended in the 1890s. Later used as a meeting hall by the Plymouth Brethren and subsequently a Catholic church hall.

MATERIALS: brick, rendered on the front (north) elevation and hung with slate-coloured tiles on the western gable end. The roof is gabled to the flanks and is covered in slates.

PLAN: rectangular plan with a narrow front elevation onto the High Street. As with most other historic plots along the High Street, the building retains its historic, burgage plot width.

EXTERIOR: the north (front) elevation is rendered, three bays wide and fronts directly onto the pavement. The central bay has a Gothic arched entrance with double doors and a rolled hood moulding with label stops. To the east of the door is a small arched noticeboard. Either side of the entrance are two narrow, double-height, metal-framed, Gothic arched windows of ten panes, also with rolled hood moldings and stops. Above these, located centrally above the door is a small square grate with a blind, Gothic arched window, again with rolled label mouldings and stops.
