THE MEETING
Stoke Newington Quaker meeting started in its present form in June 2000.
We are a small Meeting, with between 12 and 20 worshippers at Meeting for Worship.
Clissold House was built by a Quaker!
Until June 2007 the Area Meeting was part of the larger regional grouping of London and Middlesex General Meeting. This has now been abolished, but much of its work has been taken up by a new body, London Quakers. See their new website!
All Quakers in the UK are part of Britain Yearly Meeting.
From 4 March 2012 we have been
meeting in Clissold House, in Clissold Park, which has recently been refurbished.
Stoke Newington Meeting is a part
of North London Area Quaker Meeting, until very recently known by its historical name of Devonshire House and Tottenham Monthly Meeting, a geographical grouping of 5 Quaker Meetings, which runs from the City of London outwards to London's northernmost suburbs. The other four meetings are at Bunhill Fields, New Barnet, Tottenham and Winchmore Hill.
Quaker meetinghouses in London are owned by Six Weeks Meeting. They also ultimately pay for the rental of the room where we worship.
