Quaker Meeting House
01494 876594 Built in three months in the autumn of 1688, Jordans is one of the first Quaker meetings built after James II issued his Declaration of Indulgence in 1687, which allowed Quaker and other non-conformist groups to worship lawfully for the first time. The Meeting House has several important historical associations: it is the burial place of William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, his first wife, Guilielma, his second wife, Hannah, and nine of his children. Other early Quakers who worshipped here and are buried in the grounds include Isaac Penington and his wife Mary Springett, Thomas Ellwood (poet and friend of John Bunyan and John Milton) and Joseph Rule. The burial grounds and garden surrounding the building are open to visitors all year round. From March to October the Meeting House is open to visitors from 2-5 pm every day and at other times by prior appointment. |

Hodgemoor Riding Association
Hodgemoor Wood, just north of Jordans between Seer Green and Chalfont St Giles, is a wonderful location for walkers, horseriders and cyclists to enjoy. The Riding Association has over the years raised thousands of pounds to maintain trails in the wood to prevent them getting too muddy in the winter. It also strives to improve off road access to get horse riders and cyclists off our busy roads. The woods are also one of the best places locally to see bluebells in the spring.

Jordans Environment Trust
Jordans Environment Trust (JET) is a charity founded in 1973, which aims to preserve and enhance the natural and built environment in the Jordans area for the benefit of residents and the public. JET is run by a small group of local trustees. The trust has benefitted from some generous legacies in the past, and its main activity today is to provide small grants to local initiatives. In recent years it has supported the rebuilding of Jordans Meeting House, the refurbishment of the Parish Church Hall in Seer Green, and the provision of new play equipment on Jordans Village Green. It donated the land on which Chelsey Garden Cottages were built, was instrumental in the provision of the allotments and manages a field in Longbottom Lane, which it holds on a long lease in order to protect it from development. If you represent a local organisation with a suitable project that might benefit from JET’s support, please contact Dawn Franklin (Telephone: 01494 671473) Donations to the Jordans Environment Trust are always welcome. jordansenvironmenttrust.org.uk/ Jordans Environment Trust Limited Registered Charity number 266926 |
Jordans Tennis Club
Our Tennis Club celebrates its 45th Anniversary in 2015 and is currently run by David Wooster (Chairman) and John Taylor (Treasurer). There is only one court but it's a good one, with an all weather surface. Members can join the club either as an Adult, Junior, or through a Family Membership, which allows them to join in regular round robin type events, or simply book a court to use themselves at no additional cost. The club has an arrangement with Halton Tennis Club which has indoor courts and so enables members to play all year round (at extra cost). Memberships run from 1st April - 31st March each year. Being an LTA affiliated club, members are also entered into the annual draw for Wimbledon tickets, 18 pairs of which are allocated to members on a rotational basis so everyone gets a fair shot. For beginners or players wishing to improve their game, lessons are available from LTA-accredited coach Nick Wood. The club, while being an amateur level, has around 120 members who enjoy a great social side with an annual dinner held every November. Click here to visit the Jordans Tennis Club website.
