The weather was ideal for Bucks Quarter Friends to gather at the historic Plumstead Meetinghouse on August 20th for our third Quarterly Meeting of 2023.

This past spring, Jeff Marshall, historic preservationist, and past president of the Heritage Conservancy visited the Plumstead Meetinghouse to assess its construction and to answer questions from those on hand.

It was a nippy 42° in the meetinghouse when Dafydd Jones, clerk of Plumstead Meeting, came to start the fire in the wood burning stove last Sunday morning. By the time Friends began to arrive, the temperature had risen about 10 degrees
