Description

The Friends Meeting House is a meeting house built in 1825 for Mr. Tweedy. It features a freestone ashlar porch, while the rest of the building is constructed from dressed coursed local stone. The main roof is hipped and covered with asbestos slate, and the porch has a grouted scantle slate roof. The building has a rectangular plan and is a single storey. The front has a four-window range with a plinth, a central flat-roofed porch, a moulded wooden eaves cornice, and shallow segmental arches with projecting keystones above the original 30-pane hornless sash windows. There is a wide doorway on the right side of the porch. The right-hand end serves as an entrance front with a two-window range, featuring similar but copied sashes, and the porch has a doorway on its left side.

Inside, the meeting house was slightly altered in the 1980s but still retains the original panelled minister's gallery, which has steps with ramped handrails at either end, as well as original vertically-sliding panelled screens on either side of the entrance hall.
