Rookhow, Rusland, Society of Friends

The meeting house does not have a graveyard.

Built in 1725 as a special meeting place for holding the Swarthmore Monthly Meeting, since none of the existing local Preparative Meeting houses were large enough for this purpose. Rookhow did not itself, however, have any Preparative Meeting attached. In consequence it never acquired the same range of records as the other local meeting houses.
