Former Quaker Meeting House

The Former Quaker Meeting House, built in 1813 at a cost of £600, is a single-storey building located on Church Lane in Redruth. Constructed from coursed and roughly dressed rubble, it features granite quoins and dressings, and has a hipped slate roof with a brick lateral stack at the rear. The northeast elevation has a four-window range, with granite lintels above early 19th-century 15/15-pane sash windows, and a central doorway that was blocked in the later 19th century. At the rear (southwest), there is a blocked window with a similar granite surround and a segmental brick arch above another similar sash window. To the right-hand (northwest) elevation, there is a later 19th-century addition with a hipped roof, which includes a central 20th-century door and flanking windows; this addition partly extends to the rear elevation, where there is a small 20th-century addition with rendered walls and a hipped slate roof. The building is a good example of a modest Quaker chapel designed in a traditional vernacular style using locally available materials.
