Ferns Hill Quakers Meet

This is a Quaker meeting house, now incorporated into an attached pair of houses. The core of the meeting house dates to 1718, with an attached house built in 1780, and later 19th-century extensions. The building is constructed of roughcast rubble and has a hipped pantile roof. It has an L-shaped layout, with the meeting house forming the angle.

The meeting house, of single-storey and three-window range, has a central semicircular-arched doorway with a dated lintel and fanlight. It has flanking windows with moulded architraves and 16/16 sash windows with thick glazing bars; the left-hand window has been widened to create a doorway to the attached house, Ferns Hill. The roof is steeply hipped. The attached house, of two storeys and four-window range, originally had a parapet with a moulded coping and corner pilasters. It now features mostly 19th-century tripartite sash windows, a cast-iron verandah to the left, and a cast-iron balcony to the left return.

Inside the meeting house, there are traces of a domed ceiling. Ferns Hill has a 18th-century vaulted stone cellar and well, a dogleg staircase with column-on-vase balusters, a ramped handrail and curtail, and 19th-century plaster decoration. A meeting house was present on the site since 1670 and meetings ceased in 1893.
