East Nottingham Friends Meetinghouse
East Nottingham Friends Meetinghouse, Quaker meeting house in Rising Sun, Maryland.
The East Nottingham Friends Meetinghouse consists of three distinct sections, including a Flemish bond brick section from 1724 and later stone additions with corner fireplaces.
During the Revolutionary War in 1778, the meetinghouse served as an American Army hospital for wounded troops under General William Smallwood and hosted Lafayette's troops in 1781.
The meetinghouse reflects traditional Quaker architectural principles with separate entrances for men and women, emphasizing their commitment to simplicity in religious practice.
The meetinghouse stands on a 40-acre property at coordinates 39°42′4″N latitude and 75°59′0″W longitude, with an adjacent historical burial ground for early settlers.
At its peak, this religious structure held the distinction of being the largest Friends meeting house located south of Philadelphia, hosting significant Philadelphia Half-Yearly Meetings.
