Excerpt from Jordans: A Quaker Shrine Past Present A little red brick Meeting House, with doors, window frames and shutters, inside bare whitewashed walls and rude unvarnished forms. Situated by one of the old chalk-pits now disused and thickly wooded with tall beech trees, forming a sheltered dell. A green-turfed burial-ground where the forefathers of the Faith lie buried, unmarked but by a few unornamented headstones. Approached by steep, winding lanes and field-paths from Gerrard's Cross, Beaconsfield, and the Chalfonts. Such is Jordans. Quiet solitude still pervades the Shrine, and the silence, often unbroken save by song of birds and rustling of leaves, still gives the "element in which great thoughts fashion themselves, " and casts a spell on all the passers-by. The Meeting House was built in 1688. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
