The Oakham Quaker Meeting House Heritage Open Day

Heritage Open Days celebrates England’s architecture and culture by offering free access to properties that are usually closed to the public or normally charge for admission. Every year on four days in September, buildings of every age, style and function throw open their doors, ranging from castles to factories, town halls to tithe barns, parish churches to Buddhist temples. It is a once-a-year chance to discover hidden architectural treasures and enjoy a wide range of tours, events and activities which bring to life local history and culture.

On Saturday I found the Quakers Friends meeting house was open as part of heritage open days.
Sadly you can't see the timbers of the roof structures because some time ago a horrible suspended ceiling was fitted.

Whilst visiting I spoke with a friendly Quaker Dr. Jane Stuart Mackay, a former Church of Scotland member. She had departed because she felt the church was based on guilt and being a Quaker gives her a sense of freedom.

Inside Oakham Quaker Meeting House
 
 
Quaker facts:
 
They share a way of life rather than a set of beliefs
seek to experience their God directly, within themselves
and in their relationships with other and the world around us
they also think everyone can benefit from developing their
spiritual life.
 
The Quakers will welcome you as a friend
If you are wondering about God,
Looking for a purpose in life,
Craving company, or seeking solitude.
 
The style of worship is different from the traditional church.
No one has to speak and no sings.
They say they won't ask you what you believe
They simple offer friendship.
A chance to sit quietly and think.
 
Whilst the Quaker roots are in Christianity the say they
value the teaching of other faiths.
 
There are even Buddhist Quakers
