About Friend's House
Friends' House on High Cross Street in St Austell is the home of the town's Quaker meeting, where worship follows the Quaker practice of silent waiting, with those present speaking only as they feel moved. The meeting's website gives current times for worship. St Austell sits at the centre of Cornwall's china clay district, and the Quaker presence there adds a contemplative strand to a town otherwise rich in parishes and chapels. Quaker meetings are few in Cornwall, which makes each one distinctive, and the High Cross Street meeting offers stillness and shared silence within the church life of the county.
