Summary
| Description |
English: The Friends Meeting House and Cemetery is located at 228A West Main Road in Little Compton, Rhode Island. A meetinghouse was built on this site in 1700, and then entirely rebuilt in 1815 using some of the material from the original. This was then modified in 1870. Beginning in 1963, the Little Compton Historical Society restored the building to its appearance in 1815. The cemetery, designated Rhode Island Historic Cemetery No. 7, is approximately a 71 foot by 41 foot (21.64m x 12.5m) rectangle located to the east (rear) of the meeting house. The earliest dated burials are from 1714 and 1729, and the latest is from 1903. There are 18 inscribed headstones in total, plus multiple uninscribed fleldstone and slate headstones.
