Full Description
The Society of Friends has existed in King's Lynn since at least 1655. Their earliest meeting places are not known, but (S1) dating from 1741 marks a 'meeting house' which seems to denote the original Quaker meeting house in New Conduit Street. This was rebuilt some years later and (S2) noted a stone in the boundary wall inscribed 'Q'S M. 1774', perhaps indicating the date of this rebuilding. Associated with the meeting house was a Sunday School which opened in 1883. The meeting house proved costly to maintain, and in 1949 it was sold.
The Quaker burial ground was located during excavations in 2005 (NHER 37719).
