In addition to an exhibition in the Meeting house, reflecting the reactions of local Quakers, Friends ‘created a labyrinth in the grass fronting the Meeting house which could be used as a place of contemplation by adults passing by, or a place of fun for local children’.
Although it was only intended to last for one season, the labyrinth is still there.
