Description
The Friends Meeting House is a building dating from 1819, constructed from ironstone ashlar with a slate roof. It features a two-unit plan and is a single storey structure. The front has a four-window range of sash windows that have plain arch heads and intersecting glazing bars. To the right of the centre, there is a later 19th-century porch below one of the windows. The entrance consists of a pair of eight-panelled doors, which are flanked by wooden columns and topped with a plain wooden pediment. The roof is hipped and has a brick stack at one end. Above the window to the left of the centre is a datestone. To the right, there is a single-unit extension that includes a 19th-century panelled door and a sash window with glazing bars. The rear elevation is similar to the front and has some later 19th-century extensions.
