History of Quaker Meeting House

Listed Building

Quaker Meeting House comprising a late C18 building fronting the street and behind it an earlier, possibly C17, rear block, and the rear part of the wing, possibly of C19 date. …

In 1672, the Huntingdon meeting acquired a burial ground on which they built a meeting house in around 1685. The meeting lapsed in 1860 and was only used for meetings again in the early C20 until it was demolished in 1931.

In 1968-1969, the Rose and Crown public house in Godmanchester was bought for £3200. It comprised a late C18 building fronting the street and behind it an earlier, possibly C17, rear building as well as a further C19 rear wing.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
