In 2006, I discovered that the Quaker meeting houses in England were slowly disappearing without there being a comprehensive, easily-available photographic record of them. David Butler ✝︎ (see favourite authors below) had done an excellent job with line drawings, and I have drawn extensively from his books for historical information. Names and addresses are given here only where, from visiting them, I know that they differ from David Butler's entry, or where, as his book was published in 1999, there is no entry. The counties as listed in the albums are those as they were in 1999 when David Butler published his book. Although this creates anomalies as counties change and unitary authorities come into existence, (such as Peterborough, for example) it means that visitors to the site can easily cross-reference the pictures with the descriptions in Butler's book.

The collection is now complete as far as I know and contains photographs of all 561 existing current and former Quaker meeting houses in England, Scotland and Wales.

I should be very interested in any historical information local Friends can add to the photos and I would welcome up-to-date photos of meeting houses as I am no longer able to travel.

Now that I am 86 and can travel no longer, I hope that friends will send me photographs any new and/or altered meeting houses as and where they are built/acquired and add photos of them to the site.
