About Us:
The Meeting House was formerly the Rectory for St Lawrence's Church and
was built in the late 18th century. It is set within a beautiful walled
garden.
Winchester Quakers have for many years made their facilities at
the Friends Meeting House available to community, voluntary and
educational organisations for meetings, classes and other functions.
Our Winchester Meeting
website
tells you about the
facilities which are offered and the
current contribution rates.
The Meeting House is also home to the
warden and seven other residents. Bed and breakfast is sometimes
available.
