| Quaker Meeting House, Long Sutton | |
![]() | History The Religious Society of Friends, the Quakers, first appeared in Long Sutton records in 1660. The present Meeting House at the junction of Shute Lane and Langport Road was built in 1717 in the Queen Anne style and it still retains the block used by worshippers to mount and dismount from their horses. Meetings A weekly meeting is attended by 30 - 40 people, including children and young people who also have their own meetings. Until 1939 a Quaker
school was run in the building opposite the Meeting House. Next to the old Quaker
school is a cottage in which it is said that a Mrs Palmer baked cakes and biscuits.
Through a partnership between a Mr Huntley and her son a new business was established
named Huntley and Palmer.
