Description
Meeting House Cottage is a timber-framed, three-bay open hall house dating from around 1475. It has two storeys, with the west side featuring a brick-faced lower storey and a tile-hung upper storey. The south end is faced in brick from the 18th century. The old tiled roof is hipped at the south end and hipped at the north end, sweeping down over an outshot. The windows are leaded casements. Inside, there are two crown posts and a 16th-century inserted ceiling. On 24 June 1674, the local blacksmith Robert Robinson, a Quaker who lived in the house, conveyed the house, shop, garden, orchard, and about four acres of land to a group of Friends for £60, in trust for the meeting. This led to the construction of the adjoining Friends Meeting House. Meeting House Cottage now serves as the warden's cottage for the Meeting House.
