Haverford Monthly Meeting (Society of Friends : 1684-1796). Women's meeting.

A monthly meeting for the meetings at Haverford, Merion and Radnor was established in 1684 by Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting. The meeting was originally known as "Haverford". It became known as "Radnor" after 10mo 1796 when the monthly meeting was fixed at Radnor meeting house. At the time of the Hicksite Separation of 1827, two branches of this monthly meeting were formed. The Orthodox monthly meeting removed to Haverford after the Separation. It was discontinued in 1865, and its members were attached to the Monthly Meeting of Friends of Philadelphia for the Western District. In 1950, Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting (Hicksite) approved the discontinuance of Radnor Monthly Meeting. Its preparative meetings of Haverford and Merion were then established as monthly meetings. Radnor Monthly Meeting (Hicksite) was discontinued in 1951.
