Quaker's history in Wellington
The Friends movement was initially scorned but their persistence was ackowledged by an Act of Parliament in 1689. Famed leader George Fox visited the town in 1663; two local men, John Anderson and Elias Osborne, carried on the work with meetings nine years later, despite the disregard.
After the Act was passed, a Thomas Greenslade sold some of his property on the High Street for £100 so that a house could be built for worshipful meetings in 1698. That house was pulled down and a new one constructed in 1800, with added work a few decades later. The latter was designed by Francis Fox of Teignmouth (the Fox family being long-standing Quakers); he was a railway engineer and at one time assistant to Isambard Kingdom Brunel before succeeding him. The building work was carried out by George Thorne, a local mason and Robert Blackmore was the carpenter and joiner.
Grade II listed.
