Abstract: |
Statement of Significance: Swarthmoor Meeting House has exceptional heritage significance as a meeting house closely associated with George Fox who gave the site to local Friends in 1687/1688. The building incorporates an earlier house and barn, and retains many historic Quaker fittings. The building has an attractive setting on the edge of Ulverston, close to Swarthmoor Hall with an attached burial ground used since c1702. |
