Britain's What's On Event Guide
Quaker Meeting House
Heritage Open Day: A Godalming Quaker will be on hand to explain the history of Quakerism in Godalming, the history of the buildings and the site. The Society of Friends, or Quakers as they are known, has a long history in the Godalming area. 2014 was the tercentenary of the Meeting Room, built from the ruins of a cottage called Goreways in 1714. The other building, originally a stable, is believed to date from the 1600s. Less than two miles away, in Binscombe, is a Quaker Burial Ground used between 1659 and 1790 and Fox's Barn, so called because the Society's founder, George Fox, reputedly preached there in 1655.
Local Quaker Meetings such as Godalming are part of a network of Area Meetings, Regional Meetings and - at the national level - Britain Yearly Meeting.
