Central England Quakers have published an eighty-page booklet based on the recent national Quaker Meeting house heritage survey that was undertaken by Britain Yearly Meeting and Historic England.

The survey made a detailed assessment of the heritage value of each Meeting house and the new booklet provides an overview of the heritage significance of the fifteen Central England Meeting houses.

The booklet explains how Central England Quakers are improving the sustainability of their Meeting houses, putting them to community use and improving their accessibility. It includes a timeline that links the Meeting houses to Quaker history. There is also a section on Central England Quakers in 2017.
