Publisher's Synopsis

Close to Reading's busy centre, off London Street, stands the Friends Meeting House and burial ground. Austere, grand and yet welcoming, it can be both a place of challenge and a place of rest. But a Meeting is the people itself, not the building, and through overlapping generations this keeps a continuity across 350 years. This book outlines the long and at times surprisingly turbulent and moving story of the Reading Quaker Meeting.

About the Publisher

Two Rivers Press

Two Rivers Press has been publishing in and about Reading since 1994. The brainchild of Peter Hay (1951-2003), one of the town's most creative champions, the press grew out of his delight in this under-loved town and its recessed spaces. "Pete believed in Reading, and his enthusiastic publication of local books and maps can be seen as part of a quiet campaign that a number of us have been waging for years - to prove that the town exists, lives, happens, and is by no means to be confused with Anywhere." Adam Sowan.
