Although this has been a private residence for a number of years now (since ?), this hall - known as Quaker Lane Hall - was previously used as the meeting place of the local Women's Institute. However, before that - as suggested by its name - it was a Quaker Meeting House. At one time it seems that Quakers in Farnsfield were well represented as a religious group, with many more Quaker residents for its size than a good many larger villages and towns in Nottinghamshire. Ahead the road empties out into Main Street.
