Set back 25 metres from the south side of Vicarage Street. The information board on the right states that the Meeting House dates from 1706, 50 years after Quakers came to Painswick. Quaker worship is based on silence. This is reflected in the simplicity of the building, which is furnished with simple deal benches. An upper room has been used as a school room.
