Airton Friends Meeting House

GR 904592, Airton Quaker Meeting house dates back to 1660 and was refurbished by William and Alice Ellis around 1700 and the adjoining hostel was originally a stable for the Quakers attending the meetings. The stable was converted into a wartime evacuee hostel in 1940 and used as a holiday hostel from 1943 with a modernisation in 1983.
The meeting house is still used for worship on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of every month at 3:00 pm. The hostel has a self-catering kitchen/common area, and three rooms of 6,4,2 bunks. Blankets and pillow are provided but you must bring your own sleeping bag. Parties of children (except families) must be accompanied by two adults.
The meeting house was restored in 2008.
In addition to the barn being available for overnight hostel accommodation, the meeting house and kitchen in the barn can be booked for meetings, concerts, classes, displays and similar events.
