Garstang Quaker Meeting House - come and see one of Garstang's hidden places of worship

Heritage Open Day: Did you know that hidden away behind the new housing estates near the High School is a hiden gem. Up a leafy lane is Garstang Quaker Meeting House, an early nineteenth centuary grade II listed place of worship along with an historic burial ground. Most people in Garstang will know about the churches and could tell you where to go, but did you know that there is another two hundred year old Quaker Meeting House just off Calder lane in Bowgreave. Hidden away and out of sight from theroad, it sits in a little oasis of green and quitness surrounded on two sides by the burial ground, notable for the conformity of all the headstones.
Garstang Quakers were more recently involved in the town gaining Fairtrade stausand to mark that we will be hostinga Faittrade exhibition along with other examples of recent Quaker work.
