Close to Reading’s busy centre, off London Street, stands the Friends Meeting House and burial ground. Austere, grand and yet welcoming, it can be both a place of challenge and a place of rest. But a Meeting is the people itself, not the building, and through overlapping generations this keeps a continuity across 350 years. This book outlines the long and at times surprisingly turbulent and moving story of the Reading Quaker Meeting.
