Quaker Cottage

(Previously listed as located on the A592)

(formerly listed as Old Meeting House)

06.02.68

II

Quaker Meeting House now private house. 1731 but dated 1733 over entrance.
Painted roughcast walls, under graduated greenslate roof with painted roughcast
chimney stack. Single storey, three bays. Off-centre gabled stone porch with plain
boarded door in painted stone surround. Sash windows with glazing bars in
painted stone surrounds, the centre window a larger casement; some surrounds
retain their shutter hinge brackets. INTERIOR: has its original panelled
partition.

See D. Butler, Quaker Meeting Houses of the Lake Counties (1978),
pp. 90-3, where he says the Meeting House was first used 3 February 1731 and
suggests the porch was added two years later and hence the date over the
entrance. Rear outshut is not of interest.
