Description

Single cell building of colourwashed brick in irregular bond, with slate roof, divided internally into an entrance lobby at the W end, with loft over, and a meeting room. Formerly the attached house had a wooden partition which could be opened up to allow the occupants to join in the meetings.

C19 boarded door to entrance with one 2-light transomed window. Meeting room has a larger external boarded door also on the S side with external rails, set in a heavy frame within a larger opening defined by a half-brick segmental arch. Two 2-two light transomed windows, also C19, replacing the first windows installed in 1747, the openings originally being unglazed. All the symmetrical meeting room openings have a simple brick drip course terminating on brick headers.

Lobby has vice stair to upper floor, and door to Meeting Room. The meeting room has a small gallery at the E end, and a window in the E gable, now blocked. The gallery formerly took its access from an external stair on the N side; only the opening now remains. Furnishings were removed to Pennsylvania and elsewhere.
