Marsden Quaker Meeting

We are a small group of older Friends. We seldom number more than 5 or 6 at Meeting. Few in number, we uphold the Quaker tradition of a gathered silence, waiting upon the spirit. We welcome others seeking spiritual nourishment, and those curious about the Quaker experience. We cherish Advices and Queries as a source of distilled wisdom, and as a guide for life.

The Meeting House was built in 1763 from stone and despite the passing years the original stone window frames are still in place. It was sold in the 1970’s when changing geographical patterns meant that population moved away from Marsden. Friends converted the remaining half of the building (originally constructed as a school, 1909) into a warm and comfortable Meeting room with good kitchen and toilet facilities.  We have a small car park and on-street parking on Walverden Road. Although small in number Marsden Friends are keen to share their worship and hospitality with those who wish to experience the Quaker way of worship and living. 

If you'd like to speak to a Friend about our Meeting, you can use the Contact Form, or ring Damian on the telephone number below.  

You are also welcome to drop in and speak with Friends, in person, on the first Friday of each month (between 10:30 - 12pm) when we're cleaning the Meeting House.
