According to the historian James Hall, writing in 1883, "The Nantwich Friends' Meeting-House, and Burial Ground, is situated in Pillory Street. The land, about eight hundred and twenty-one square yards, was conveyed in 1724 to Benjamin Claridge, of Winsford, and another, together with some buildings thereon, in trust for the use of the people called Quakers, as the site of a building for religious worship, and as a place for the burial of their dead. In the following year a Meeting- House was erected the cost of which, as also the purchase money for the land, were raised among Friends of Cheshire Quarterly Meeting. The Meeting-House underwent a thorough repair about the year 1850." The building now houses the Nantwich Players' Theatre. (Source: A History of the Town and Parish of Nantwich.
