Description
This is a former Quaker meeting house, now used as an outbuilding, dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of whitewashed rubble stone with dressed stone quoins and keystones; the upper part of the front facade features squared stonework, but the whole appears to be of a single build. The roof is hipped and clad in corrugated asbestos, with rough stone visible at the eaves, originally concealed behind a timber eaves cornice. The front has two blocked flat-headed windows and a central door, all with thin stone voussoirs and raised keystones. A short, three-bay eastern end features part-blocked windows and an original studded plank door with a single long panel outlined by incised fielding. The western end is of rubble stone with a single blocked window. A rear, north-eastern lean-to extension has a window and door in the eastern end wall, forming an angle with a large, whitewashed barn behind the meeting house.
The barn has a slate roof, with two sets of full-height double doors on the eastern front, and long double vent loops, one to the left, two to the centre, and one to the right. The rear western side of the barn is not whitewashed.
Attached to the north end, under a continuous roof, is a lofted stable. Its eastern front features a four-light, early 17th century timber diamond mullion window on each side of a door, all with timber lintels. The rear western side has two eaves-breaking catslide dormer windows with casements over a centre planked and ledged door with strap hinges, and a window to the right. The stable appears to predate the barn, as evidenced by the quoins at the straight joint.
The meeting house interior has been stripped out, but retains one badly eroded turned newel post and collar trusses to the roof. The barn's six-bay roof has large tie-beam trusses with angled struts and triple purlins.
