Local History
Quaker meetings for worship have been held in Scarborough from 1651. Early meetings were held in private homes and often resulted in heavy fines being imposed on the householder concerned. George Fox, a pioneer of the movement, was imprisoned in Scarborough Castle from 1665 to 1666.
In 1676, what was probably the second meeting house was opened in Low Conduit Street (now Princess Square). This was replaced by the St. Sepulchre Street building in 1801, which in turn was replaced by new premises in York Place in 1894. This was demolished in 1990 to make way for the Brunswick Pavilion Development.
