The chapel is off Bath Place, see Image for a wider view. The Quaker Heritage website offers a statement of significance stating that it was built in 1816 to replace an earlier meeting house on the same site, but the History Files website dates it to 1834. The Quaker site also says it has been "very much altered externally and internally. A new small meeting room by Philip Proctor Associates was added at the south end of the building in 2014/5 and the old meeting room was converted to provide ancillary spaces". Perhaps because of this internal conversion, it is not nationally listed.
