Jordans Burial Ground

Members and Attenders of meetings that are part of Chilterns Area Meeting: Did you know that we have access to a beautiful Quaker burial ground in the area? 

Jordans Quaker Burial Ground is adjacent to the historic Jordans Meeting House, where William Penn and his family are buried. The burial ground was designed in the early 20th century by the Quaker architect Hubert Lidbetter (who also designed Friends' House and other meeting houses), its graves are arranged in a circle, which is meant to represent a Quaker meeting. It is a beautiful, serene place for Quakers to be buried or have their ashes scattered. And it is free to all members (Attenders pay just a small fee) of London West, North West London, and Chilterns Area Meetings.

For more details, see www.jordansburialground.org or contact the Advising Friend Janet May-Bowles at JBG1@talktalk.net or on 01753 862 428.

Aylesbury March/April 2018

Meetings for Worship take place in the Meeting House every Sunday at 10.45-11.45am except (usually) the first of the month, when we finish at 11.30 am, so that after a short break for refreshments we can accommodate our Meeting for Worship for Business starting at 12 noon.

*However, please note that since 1st April is Easter Sunday, although there will still be a Meeting for Worship then, the Business Meeting has been postponed until the following week (8th April), since many Friends and Attenders will have family commitments over Easter.

Our Experiment with Light takes place in the library at 9:45 am on the second Sunday of the month (8th April).

There is also an evening Meeting for Worship in the library at 7-7.30 pm on the fourth Wednesday of the month (28th March / 25th April).
