The meeting-house stands on the south side of the street near the junction with Beaumont Street. It has brick walls and a pantiled roof with gabled ends. It was built in 1704 and has a stone with this date in the south wall. Alterations in 1809, 1876 and 1951 have not greatly affected the original structure but the north wall is now largely concealed by extensions of 1876, built for the Adult School Movement. The principal elevation facing south has two windows with flat-arched brick heads, that to the east is reduced in width, and further to the right an upper window with a blocked window below. The east wall has a central doorway with a nineteenth century wood frame and a window above. The windows in the north wall are covered by later buildings. The interior has a gallery and screens at the east end and a stand opposite. The gallery is known as the 'womens' gallery', where separate meetings could be held, and then the screens removed, and a full meeting held. The fittings appear to have been entirely renewed in the nineteenth century. There is a small burial ground to the south. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}{6}{7}

Extensive alterations were made in 1809 to 1810 and in 1876 a classroom and kitchen were erected in between the meeting house and the road. The war damage inflicted in 1942 was remedied in 1951. {7} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1704 - 2020 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
