Society of Friends Records

George Fox, the founder of the Society of Friends, began to preach c 1647.  The Friends, also known as Quakers, have no ministerial order, and the organisation of the movement is substantially as laid down in 1666.

Additional Information

Each congregation is a Particular (or Preparative) Meeting; a group of particular meetings forms a Monthly Meeting for the purposes of administration; monthly meetings combine to form a Quarterly Meeting, which is more concerned with spiritual matters.

Finally, at national level, there is a Yearly Meeting. The records on this page are from the Hereford and Mid-Wales Monthly Meeting.
