Loughwood Meeting House
Loughwood Meeting House, Protestant church building in Dalwood, England
The stone building features a thatched roof, buttressed walls, and sits into a hillside overlooking the Devon countryside through simple windows.
Built in 1653 during religious persecution, the Baptist meeting house operated secretly, accessed only through narrow paths in surrounding woodland.
The interior contains original pine bench seating, a central wooden pulpit, and a musicians' gallery that reflects Protestant worship practices.
The National Trust property has a small gravel parking area for three cars and lacks modern facilities such as restrooms.
Two chambers beneath the west gallery served as cooking rooms for full-day Sunday services, indicating extended worship gatherings.
