Friends Meeting House Osmotherley

This appears to be the first time that the Friends Meeting House [Quakers] has been photographed for Geograph despite there being 165 other images in this square at the time of writing. The building does take some finding as it isn't signed from West End and is perched on the hillside just above what looks like a motor repair shop. The building is grade 2 listed and the listing states that it had been erected by 1733, which is odd as the date on the door lintel is 1723. The lean to extension is much newer and could date from 1947.
