Quakers in Britain
is the official website of Britain Yearly Meeting, the national Quaker body for Great Britain
Local Quaker Meetings are members of an Area Meeting. This website is for the Hertford and Hitchin Area Meeting, which mostly covers North and East Hertfordshire, and our local meetings are listed in the column on the left. There are other Quaker meetings in Hertfordshire; meetings in West and South West Hertfordshire are in the Luton and Leighton Area Meeting. Other neighbouring Area Meetings include Cambridgeshire, North London, and Thaxted
