Abington Monthly Meeting

Website: http://www.abingtonfriends.org/

The first Friends meeting in this area was held in the home of Richard Wall in 1683. That house in Elkins Park is now a Cheltenham Township Park house and can be visited. Through the gift of John Barnes, the present grounds were acquired in 1697 for the use of a meeting house and school. The first meeting house was completed in 1702 and rebuilt in 1786, with additions made in 1797, 1929, and 1966. Abington Friends School is under the care of the Meeting, with classes from pre-school through 12th grade.
