Friends Meeting House
Image: © Michael Dibb Taken: 2 Jun 2018
Built in the Greek Revival style as a Masonic Hall and opened in 1819, the building proved too expensive for the Freemasons and they left in the 1820s. Used thereafter at various times as an Assembly Room, a Non-conformist chapel, as a Bethesda Chapel. Since 1866, the building has been the home of the Religious Society of Friends. Altered in the 1980s, the building is listed, grade II, with details at: https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1395817
