Old Kennett Meeting |
||
|
(c.1713/1719/1731) The one-and-a-half story Quaker Meeting was built of stuccoed fieldstone about 1713; records indicate that it was enlarged in 1719 and 1731. The stone walls on the western boundary of the property played a major role in Brigadier General William Maxwell's line of defense. Scotch Willie "stationed his men along the Meeting yard's wall and anchored his flanks in the thick woods on either side of Nottingham Road. There is a graveyard east of the Meeting where there is a common grave for the men who fell here. |
