Salisbury Quaker Meeting House

The Society of Friends was founded by George Fox in the 17th century and is distinguished for having no ministers, meeting in silence and being strongly pacifist. Quakers were recorded in Salisbury as early as 1657 when Francis Taylor interrupted a sermon in the Cathedral and was thrown out and imprisoned. A Quaker meeting was established and held at various locations. In 2003 Salisbury Friends bought Kennet Lodge on Wilton Road, a grade II listed building in a poor state of repair. It was subsequently renovated for use by the Quaker Meeting, the first meeting being held in 2010.
