Full Description
Old Quaker Meeting House.
Erected 1696. Demolished 1904.
Information from (S1).
The gable end of the meeting house is visible in a photograph of unknown date (S2) which features the adjacent post medieval lock-up (NHER 13261). Another photograph taken about 1905 depicts the ruins of the Meeting House (S3), and a single gable wall is also visible in an aerial photograph of the town taken about 1925 (S4). The site is now covered by the forecourt of the Carnegie Room, which opened in 1968. A small number of inhumations were moved from the Quakers' burial ground to the London Road cemetery prior to the construction of the Carnegie Room (S3).
See (S2-4) for further details.
