Quaker Meeting House

It's not a grand historical building, but rather a modest, purposeful space dedicated to the Religious Society of Friends. Quakers have maintained a long and impactful presence in England since the 17th century, known for their commitment to peace, equality, and social justice.

Visitors are always welcome to attend a Meeting for Worship, held in a simple, uncluttered room. These gatherings are typically unprogrammed, consisting mainly of silent contemplation, though individuals may feel moved to share a brief message. It's a genuine opportunity to experience a profound sense of calm and community. Beyond worship, the meeting house often serves as a centre for local community activities and discussions on ethical issues.

The meeting house sits within Newbury, a historic market town that's easily accessible and conveniently located for those travelling to or from the wider Cotswolds area. The town itself has plenty to offer, including canal walks, shopping, and various local attractions. Whether you're passing through or making a deliberate stop, it's a place to pause, reflect, and appreciate a different facet of local heritage.
