The Airton Quaker Meeting House is a historic religious building in Airton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. As a vernacular building, the origin of the meeting house is uncertain. The National Churches Trust argues that it was purpose-built in the early 1600s as a meeting house for the Seekers, an early group of religious dissenters. By the time of the English Civil War, the land on which the building stands was owned by John Lambert, a military commander who was sympathetic to the new Quaker movement. George Fox may have preached in Airton in 1652, while another Quaker leader, Gervase Benson, definitely preached in the village by 1658, in what he described as a "barn-like building". A Quaker community became established in the village, with the first recorded burial in 1663, and regular meetings by the end of the decade. More information...
