Description
The former Friends' Meeting House, dated 1733 above the entrance, is a barn located in Burgh by Sands. It features English garden wall bond brickwork set on a chamfered stone plinth, topped with a graduated greenslate roof that has coped gables and kneelers. The building is 1½ storeys high and consists of five bays. The entrance has four-panel double doors within a moulded round arch, complete with impost blocks and a false dated keystone. The windows have external wooden shutters and are framed by plain stone surrounds, with projecting square stones positioned slightly above and between them. There are attic 2-light windows on the extreme right side. The interior may still contain remnants of its original woodwork, which was present in 1974, but bales of straw inside at the time of the survey hindered a thorough examination.
