Description
The National Spiritualist Church, originally a Friends Meeting House, was built in 1734. It is constructed of ashlar stone and features a hipped roof made of stone slate. The building is square and single-storey with two windows. The entrance is located in a porch at the rear left, featuring a segmental arch with a keystone above double doors that are framed by a beaded architrave. Each facade has two segmental arched 12-pane sash windows, also with beaded architraves and keystones, along with a moulded cornice and blocking course. The interior was not accessible during the survey conducted in July 1984.
