West Cumbria Area Meeting

ABOUT THE GENERAL MEETING

Cumberland General Meeting comprises those Quaker Meetings situated in the northern part of Cumbria. This area extends northwards from the A66 to the Scottish borders and from the Solway Firth in the west to the hills of the Pennines in the east. The General Meeting district takes in the Northern Fells of the Lake District National Park, the Cumbrian plain northward to the Solway estuary and parts of the Eden Valley and northern Pennines.

To the south, Cumberland General Meeting borders with Westmorland General Meeting, which encompasses the heartland of early Quakerism in Northern England. To the north, across the Solway Firth, our nearest neighbouring meetings are those in West Scotland Monthly Meeting, located in the Galloway peninsula.

 

QUAKER QUEST

Would you like to know more about Quakers? You will be very welcome at Meeting for Worship at any of our Meetings - see the individual pages for information such as times of meetings. Alternatively you might like to come along to a Quaker Quest evening. These are evenings especially for those who would like to find out more. You will find a friendly welcome, and a chance to listen, to discuss and to ask questions. Each evening concludes with a short Meeting for Worship.
