Downham Market: Salvation Army Hall
Heritage Open Day: A modest building... from Quaker Hall to Salvation Army Hall, serving the community for over 300 years. The Friends Meeting House, often referred to as the Quaker Hall, was first used as a place of worship in 1701... until 1796. In 1810, a local Quaker named Zachary Clark, from the White House, Ryston End, rented the attached dwelling house and garden, promising to maintain the Meeting House itself, which then re-opened in 1815, just months before his death.
Zachary, a farmer in nearby Denver, was well respected and a man of property and Quaker values. His influence lived on through his daughters, Elizabeth and Hannah Clark, who married Quaker brothers, Doyle. Both sisters and their husbands were laid to rest in the burial ground at the Meeting Hall.
