The seeding

"Totnes" is a small market town in South West England, based at an important crossing point of the River Dart. Together with the nearby Dartington estate, it has an international reputation for its lively and diverse community. Not surprisingly the Quaker meeting has grown in the last forty years, and is large for the size of the town.
