The Lecture Hall in Salisbury Street was built in 1863 by J.F.Rutter,
a solicitor and Quaker, living at Dewes House, Mere. A Friends'
Meeting House was incorporated into the building but for some
years now no Quakers have met in Mere. The Hall was used chiefly
for Non-conformist events and the Mere Temperance Society meetings;
no alcohol was permitted to be consumed on the premises and this
still applies today. A wide variety of events have taken place
there in recent years and it is the base for Mere Drama Society. |
