Briggflatts Quaker Meeting House, 1960
Dated 1675, this is the oldest surviving Quaker Meeting House in the north of England. The fact that it was purpose-built before the passing of the Act of Tolerance in 1689 indicates the strength of mind of the Quakers of the period.

It retains much of its original internal fittings and is Listed Grade I. There is an interesting discussion of the building here LinkExternal link
