New Barnet Friends Meeting House

New Barnet Friends Meeting House

New Barnet Friends Meeting House is a Quaker meeting house in Leicester Road, New Barnet, north London, England.[1] It was designed by Leonard Brown, who also designed Quaker meeting houses in Peterborough and Colchester and worked on Letchworth Garden City.[2]

Quakers are known in Hertfordshire, of which New Barnet was once a part, from around 1655.[3] A Quaker meeting has taken place in New Barnet since at least 1873 when its proceedings were reported in the Christian Age, the Baptist, and The Herald of Peace.[4] The New Barnet meeting house opened in the 1930s.
