Friends Meeting House, Adelaide

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 Peter's Cathedral, on its west side.

[3] The land on which it stands was donated to the Society of Friends by church member J. Barton Hack.

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.

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.
