Share
The Quaker Meeting House on Chestnut Hill in Nailsworth, Stroud, Gloucestershire is listed Grade II.
It has been used as place of worship by Quakers - the Religious Society of Friends - since 1680.
Thought to have been originally a barn, it was repurposed and has been adapted over the years refelcting its history. The main Meeting Room still retains its wooden panelling and and also the elders benches on a raised dais, although these are no longer in use. In the upstairs room and landing, which has limited access, historical graffiti can be seen cut into the stone cills.
Now the Meeting House is also a home for Nailsworth's events and wider community throughout the year.
