Quaker Cottage

Quaker Cottage, originally a Quaker Meeting House, dates from 1731 but has the date 1733 above the entrance. The building features painted roughcast walls and a graduated greenslate roof, topped with a painted roughcast chimney stack. It is a single-storey structure with three bays. The off-centre gabled stone porch has a plain boarded door set in a painted stone surround. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, are framed by painted stone surrounds, with the central window being a larger casement; some of the surrounds still have their shutter hinge brackets. Inside, the cottage retains its original panelled partition. Historical references indicate that the Meeting House was first used on 3 February 1731, and it is suggested that the porch was added two years later, explaining the date above the entrance. The rear outshut is not of interest.
