Quaker Meeting House
Built in 1697, it was the first purpose-built Quaker Meeting House in Staffordshire, and one of the oldest in the UK still in use.
Remarkably it does not have a continuous history of Quaker worship. Following a decline in numbers, it closed in 1848, but then reopened in 1880. This period only lasted until 1886, when the building was leased to the William Morris Labour Church. Following an increase in Quakers in the early 20th century, the Meeting House reopened in 1939 and has been in use ever since. Grade II listed.
