This little building has no architectural pretensions at all, so that there is very little - externally - to tell you that it dates from 1688. Only the rows of modest tombstones hint at the building's purpose. As I understand it, Quakers endeavour to live honestly and simply, in equality and peace. Perhaps we can learn from them.
