EPW001749 ENGLAND (1920). Butter Market, Town Hall, Pavilion Theatre and Corn Exchange, Bury St. Edmunds, 1920

Quaker Meeting House: Bury Quakers bought a property in ‘Long Brackland’ (now St John’s Street) in 1682, for £50, only 30 years after George Fox had founded the Quaker movement. The present timber-framed, Grade II listed building, with its extensive garden and burial ground, was built by Bury Quakers on a site bought by them in 1750. It is the oldest Quaker Meeting House in Suffolk that is still in use. A Friend called Margaret Kemp kept the Meeting going in the post-war years of the 1940s, sometimes being the only person attending on a Sunday morning. The front wall is faced with 19th century white bricks and has a full Venetian window. Internally the original raised benches for Ministers and Elders remain, as does the gallery, which has recently been restored. A civic opening ceremony of the Meeting House took place in October 2008 after a year of extension and restoration work.
