Hartshill Morning meeting
This is a small Meeting, held in the silent, waiting worship tradition of the majority of Quaker meetings in Britain Yearly Meeting. It is a very quiet and peaceful place for meeting. Visitors will always be very welcome. It is held in a modern Meeting House, built on the site of the school established by Nathaniel Newton, one of the first generation of Quakers. It is the Meeting House ‘just up the hill’ from Fenny Drayton (formerly Drayton-in-the-Clay), where George Fox was born and brought up. It is just across the road from Hartshill Hayes country park, where ‘Our George’, as he is known locally, tended sheep. This meeting is right in the heart of 1624 country – the area where Quakerism was conceived. See the special history website www.1624country.org.uk
Sunday School
The Sunday school meets at 10.30 in the school room (the morning meeting is in the main Meeting room). There is no Sunday School on the first Sunday of each month.
Evening meeting
This is a larger meeting, offering an opportunity within Britain Yearly Meeting to worship to a programmed structure in a service lead by a visiting speaker. This fellowship meeting continues to prosper from the days when Quakers appointed missioners to attend to and develop the worshipping needs of local people.
Accessibility: The building is wheelchair accessible and fitted with an amplification system. Access from the road is via ramps with handrail or via the sloping drive to the car park.
