Briggflatts Meeting House, Quaker meeting house in Sedbergh, United Kingdom
The stone building features lime-washed walls, wooden interior elements including panels, columns, and a balustrade within a garden setting near open fields.
George Fox, who founded the Quaker movement, organized a permanent meeting at this location in 1652, leading to the construction of the building in 1675.
The structure became the subject of British modernist poet Basil Bunting's twelve-line poem written in 1975 to mark its 300th anniversary.
Visitors can join local Friends for worship services every Sunday morning at 10:30, with the building receiving over 2,000 people annually.
The land for this Grade I listed building, the second oldest Friends Meeting House in England, was purchased for just ten shillings in the 17th century.
