Britain's What's On Event Guide
Hidden in Plain Site - Airton Grade II* Quaker Meeting House
Heritage Open Day: Step back to around 1620 to unravel the mysteries surrounding this ancient architectural jewel. Why was a large Meeting House built in a remote village and disguised as a barn? Why is its entrance so concealed? Join us for intrigue and refreshments. Tour the Meeting House up until 2pm or attend a talk at 10am or 12noon for an interpretation of the historical significance of this building complex and burial ground.
Built on the foundations of a cruck-framed barn it is possibly the oldest Quaker Meeting House anywhere. Recent research focussing on Airton and Malhamdale has sought to explain the conundrum posed by Airton's presence and its role in the development of the Seeker and Quaker movements.
