Stafford Quaker Meeting House and the people who met there
Heritage Open Day: Visit Stafford Quaker Meeting House, built 1730. Grade II listed building. Meeting Room with Women's Gallery and Elder's Bench; Victorian Schoolroom, C20 extension, garden. Small exhibition about Stafford Quakers past and present. Refreshments. Stafford Quaker Meeting House is a rare eighteenth century building still used for its original purpose. Built in 1730 to replace a previous meeting house on the site, this is probably the oldest nonconformist place of worship in Stafford.
Once occupying a semi-rural position on the outskirts of Stafford, the Meeting House is now encompassed by the town. Set back from a busy road the simple style of the brick building reflects Quaker testimony to simplicity with plain windows and minimal embellishment.
