Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brentford_%26_Isleworth_Meeting_House File:Quaker Meeting House, Quakers Lane, Isleworth, Hounslow.jpg

"The Brentford & Isleworth Meeting House is a Friends meeting house (a Quaker place of worship) on Quakers Lane in Isleworth, Hounslow. Built in the 18th century,[1] it is listed Grade II* on the National Heritage List for England, and is one of the oldest purpose-built meeting houses in London.[2] Meeting for worship is held on Sundays at 10:30 am.[3]

The building was originally built for the Quakers in 1785, and has been occasionally extended since - including a library established in 1829, and a classroom in 1958.[2] The land for the Meeting House was first purchased for £35 from retired printer and dyer, and local Quaker, Benjamin Angell.[4] The West London Quaker burial ground and a garden surrounds the Meeting House. The front wall of the building was badly damaged during the London Blitz on the 13th October 1940, and the Meeting House was not fully re-opened until 1950. In the meantime, meetings were held in a temporary space near the site. Local Quakers and conscientious objectors also used the site to operate an organisation providing relief to those affected by the bombing, known as the Relief Service Unit.[4] "
