Friends' Meeting House

This attractive stone-built Grade II hall dates from 1679, & has been used for Quaker worship for over 300 years since its establishment by George Shaw of Bickerstaffe. The building & garden have been recently restored & are an important element of the George Street Conservation Area. The sundial over the door is dated 1753, while a curiosity in the garden is a huge glacial boulder, said to have been deposited from the Lake District following the last ice age.
