The place of worship dates from 1697 with later alterations and is listed Grade II among other reasons as "a meeting house that typifies the modest nature of these buildings for worship, and which retains its essential historic form and character; and as an early purpose-built meeting house constructed soon after the Act of Toleration of 1689". List entry 1313194. Note the simple headstones in the burial ground: Quaker practice is only to give names and dates of the deceased.
