Horsham Friends Meeting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Horsham Friends Meeting is a Quaker meetinghouse located in Horsham, Pennsylvania, home to Horsham Monthly Meeting. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1991-06-21. In addition to serving as a place of worship, the Quaker School at Horsham is located on the meeting's grounds. A carriage house is located next to the meeting and an attached graveyard is across situated across Easton Road, the street that the Meeting sits on.

Made of squared and cut stone, the meetinghouse is an example of a style of meetinghouses known as "double meeting houses", so named due to their separate entrances for men and women. The current Meetinghouse was built in 1803, and is the third on the site. Horsham Friends Meeting was founded in 1716.

Horsham Meeting is an active Quaker community, and is a member of Abington Quarterly Meeting, of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting
