Cropwell Friends Meeting House is a historic Quaker meeting house and active Quaker community at 810 Cropwell Road in the Cropwell section of Evesham Township, Burlington County, New Jersey, United States.
Thomas Evans was one of the first Friends to settle in the Marlton area; in 1701, he signed a deed with Lenape leader King Himolin for a farm in what is now the Marlton area.[3] The property for a school was acquired in 1793 and the meetinghouse constructed in 1809. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[4]
An active Quaker congregation continues to worship in the building.
