poliphilo The Quakers in Lewes have a meeting for worship and shared lunch on the first Wednesday of the month. We thought we'd be neighbourly and join them.
Their Meeting House dates from 1784. It has been adapted and enlarged but the heart of it is much as it used to be. There's a burial ground out front which is now a secluded garden where people come to eat their lunchtime sandwiches. The headstones are typical- small, uniform, hoop shaped stones with nothing on them but names and dates. The oldest I could decipher carries the date 1797 but some may be older. The burial ground predates the building by nearly 100 years.
