Welcome to Winchmore Hill Quaker Meeting and our website
We have met in this beautiful meeting place for more than 300 years. Yet what we have to say is very up to date. We seek to be a friendly and open spiritual community, which welcomes everyone. You are very welcome to join us for worship every Sunday at 10.30 am, or for the other events we run here. Our gardens are open to all to use as a place of beauty and reflection.
Address Map Bookworms beat the rain. Our thanks to all who donated books and cakes to our sale, and to members of local Amnesty groups who helped out. Between us we raised £1600 to be split between the meeting and Amnesty - despite constant rain!

It is a very good way of making decisions, to test something with honesty and simplicity and to see that of God in everyone.” Singer Tom Robinson "For me the focused, expectant silence of the meeting was like nothing I'd ever experienced. Birdsong or traffic noises would mingle with the occasional cough, or creak of a seat, within the room. And after perhaps 10 minutes there would be a sense of the silence deepening - like a coastal shelf falling away beneath our feet. A profound, inner stillness would descend as fidgeting diminished and superficial sounds receded into the background." |
