Description
Megs Hill Friends Meeting House is a building from 1749 that originally served as a Friends Meeting House but is now an implement store for Hetherside Farm. It features English garden wall bond brickwork and has an asbestos sheet roof. The structure is single storey with two bays. The 19th-century entrance, which was previously a window, has a chamfered sandstone surround and a plank door. There are segmental brick arches above small unglazed windows. The left end wall, where the original entrance was located, has been altered with a larger opening from the 20th century. The rear wall is supported by four brick buttresses from the 19th century. This building was only used for burial services related to the adjoining burial ground, while the main Meeting House was located half a mile east at Sikeside.
