The Meeting House dates to 1663, making it the earliest in the country still in use.
Broad Campden, Gloucestershire
The meeting house is a former (possibly Tudor) cottage which was converted to meeting house use in 1663 and extended in 1677. Quaker use ceased in 1874 and the building was sold in 1931. It was reacquired in 1961 and fully restored.
The relatively early date of the acquisition of the building is evidence for a substantial Quaker presence in the region during the second half of the 17th century. During 1874-1961, the building was used for a range of different purposes, including as a Baptist church hall.
A simple building constructed using coursed and squared local Cotswold stone. The interior retains a historic stand and some historic panelling, although wall plaster has been removed. The village is set in rolling countryside, surrounded by fields of grazing sheep, and dissected by streams.

Cyrhaeddir yr eglwys hon trwy deithio naill ai ar hyd lonydd troellog sy’n gyforiog o flodau, neu ar hyd llwybr troed. Wrth gyrraedd, fe welwch yr eglwys ganoloesol hon yn sefyll ar lethrau’r Grwyne Fawr, yn edrych heibio cwm bychan at lethrau Mynydd Pen-y-Fâl yr ochr draw.
Capel y Ffin, Powys
Lleolir eglwys Sant Mair, Capel y Ffin yn nyffryn cudd yr afon Honddu, gyda’r Mynyddoedd Du i’r gorllewin iddi a Chlawdd Offa i’r dwyrain. Mae’n fan lle mae celfyddyd a thirwedd yn ymdoddi i’w gilydd – ac nid yw’n syndod felly iddi ddenu arlunwyr a beirdd am ganrifoedd.
Hen Faesyfed, Powys
Er iddi gael ei llosgi yn ystod Gwrthryfel Glyndŵr yn 1401, mae gan Eglwys Sant Steffan hanes cystal ag unrhyw gastell, gyda chroglen ganoloesol brin ac organ a all fod yr hynaf yn y DU.
