Quaker Meeting House
Heritage Open Day: An early 19th century Quaker Meeting House, in a walled garden which was once the burial ground. Beneath the building are the remains of a 14th century cell occupied by Augustinian Friars, connected to Gorleston Priory, until c.1536. This simple but imposing building, reconstructed c.1807, is typical of a Georgian nonconformist chapel or meeting house. Its history stretches back to at least the beginning of the 14th century when the Augustinian Friars from the Priory in Gorleston built a cell here, the remains of which can be seen in the Undercroft. The Friars left in 1536-1539 when the Priory church in Gorleston was destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
