It still retains many of its Georgian features, including a gallery that was originally for women, and a symbolic meeting house lantern.
The windows are particularly fascinating because they still have their original glazing bars and blown glass.
Nearby are 17th century cottages that were the original meeting house and which were subsequently used as a Quaker school.
