By the time Warwickshire Middle Monthly Meeting was discontinued in 1837, the only remaining meeting in the area was Coventry Preparative Meeting which had been absorbed Warwick Preparative Meeting in 1834. From 1837, Coventry became part of the North Warwickshire Monthly Meeting and remained the only meeting in the area until Warwick Preparative Meeting was revived in 1903 by the Quarterly Meeting. In the 20th century new meetings were set up at Leamington (see SF/3/30), Rugby and Stratford-upon-Avon.
See the relevant sections in SF/3 for further information about each Preparative Meeting for which we hold records (records for some meetings have not survived but there are usually references to them in the Quarterly (SF/1) and Monthly Meeting (SF/2) minutes.
