This beautiful 17th century building at Brigflatts in Cumbria is certainly one of the most famous Quaker Meeting Houses there is, and is to be found in a hamlet of about nine houses on the bank of the River Rawthey. It is about one mile west of the small market town of Sedbergh. It is acknowledged for all the simplicity of its lime-washed stone walls and interior woodwork — panelling, columns and balustrading — as one of England’s vernacular gems. For many, the peace and tranquillity of the Meeting House at Brigflatts leave a lasting impression. The building dates from 1675 and is Grade I-listed.
