Overview and metadata sections
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 Tenth Month, 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.
In 1936, the formation of a United Monthly Meeting at Radnor out of Haverford Monthly Meeting (Orthodox) and Valley Monthly Meeting (Hicksite) was approved by the two Philadelphia quarterly meetings. The meeting was established in 1937 and was known as Radnor United Monthly Meeting. The name of this meeting was changed to Radnor Monthly Meeting in 1955. This Radnor Monthly Meeting is currently active.
Records of both the pre-Reunification Radnor Monthly Meetings and the records of the sucessor of Radnor United Monthly Meeting.
