Friends Meeting House, Hartshill

Hartshill has a long Quaker tradition that stems back to the 17th century when George Fox, one of the founders of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) who came from Fenny Drayton about 2½ miles away, met Nathaniel Newton here. Newton became one of the first Quakers and left a legacy that established a school in the village. The first meeting house was built here in 1720 but the modern building, seen in this view, dates from about 1972.
