Heritage Open Day: See the 17th-century meeting house, the oldest in Oxfordshire and one of the oldest buildings in Faringdon. The Faringdon Meeting House, built 1672-73, is the oldest Quaker Meeting House in the Oxfordshire/Berkshire area and is one of the longest surviving buildings in Faringdon. It is very rare to find meeting houses built before the 1689 Act of Toleration, and this is one of only about 50 in the country that is still in regular use as a Quaker place of worship.
