Something about this Meeting House:

 

Swarthmoor Hall is a 16th century country house set in beautiful gardens and grounds in 130 acres of farmland. Visitors comment on its sense of place – of the people who have lived here, its tranquillity and beauty. 

 

It is known as the cradle of Quakerism because in the mid-17th century Judge Thomas Fell and his wife Margaret provided protection and hospitality for early Quakers, notably George Fox (its founding father) and allowed the Hall to be a headquarters for the movement.

The Hall has been undergoing exciting development. Repair and restoration work is almost finished both inside the Hall and out. The size of the car park has been increased to welcome more visitors and electric charging points will be installed.

 

The Historic House, Barn cafe and conference facilities are now open; we look forward to welcoming visitors again!
