Bentham Quaker Meeting House Open Afternoon

Bentham Meeting House, also known as Calf Cop Meeting House, is a building of elegant simplicity set in deep quietness high above the Burton Road in Low Bentham, with wonderful views of Ingleborough and the surrounding Yorkshire countryside. You are welcome to explore on your own, but also at 1500 we are offering two short talks. The first, by Professor Angus Winchester, will trace how the Meeting House's architecture reflects Quaker values and practices, and the second, by Trevor Blackwell, will outline the history of the Meeting House in Bentham. The talks will be followed by a five minute "mini-Meeting" which will give you an opportunity to experience what a Quaker Meeting is like. Tea and home-made cakes will be provided throughout the Open Afternoon for your enjoyment and refreshment.
