Wensleydale was an early centre of Quaker worship, with Richard Robinson preaching in Carperby in 1658 or 1659, and converting several families when he returned a few years later.
A meeting in Carperby was licensed in 1689, immediately following the Toleration Act 1688.
The current building was constructed in 1864, becoming the meeting place also for Quakers in Aysgarth.
The Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority describes it, in terms of its architecture, as "the most sophisticated building in the village".
It contains a central doorway with chamfered rusticated quoins and a divided fanlight, and sash windows.
