| 词条 | Friends Meeting House, Adelaide |
| 释义 |
The Adelaide meeting house of the Religious Society of Friends ("Quakers") is situated on Pennington Terrace, North Adelaide, South Australia, literally in the shadow of St Peters Cathedral, on its west side. It is substantially made of timber, the only such church building in the City.[1] Besides Sunday meetings, weddings and the like, it has also hosted secular meetings, particularly for peace, education, temperance and other social causes. It also served briefly for Adelaide's Presbyterian congregation prior to construction of the Church of Scotland building on Grenfell Street,[2] also for the North Adelaide congregation of the Church of England.[3] The land on which it stands was donated to the Society of Friends by church member J. Barton Hack. He also had the contract for construction of the prefabricated building, supplied by Henry Manning of London, around 1840.[4][5] (The rectory of Trinity Church, Adelaide was also a "Manning's portable cottage".) Despite a prohibition on churchyard burials in the City of Adelaide, there were around seventeen graves in its tiny yard,[4] including that of J. B. Hack's child.[6] and a son and first wife of Joseph Barritt. From 1858 no further burials took place there, as a separate area had been reserved for Quakers at the West Terrace Cemetery.[7] The meeting house significantly predates St. Peter's Cathedral, the land for which was purchased in 1862 and the foundation stone laid in 1869. A condition of the land sale was provision of a right of way to the meeting house.
