Westfield Friends Church, better known as "Old Westfield", is the oldest religious organization in Surry County, NC, dating back to 1760s when pioneer Quakers from New Garden crossed Quaker Gap of Saurtown Mountains to plant a community in the Valleys of Big Creek and Tom's Creek. Those early Quakers began holding meetings at Westfield by 1772,December 23, 1786 a monthly meeting was set up at Westfield, and the name was changed from Tom's Creek to "Westfield." The meeting grew rapidly and established several new meetings. In 1803, a quarterly meeting was established with Westfield as its center. Gradually the migration westward weakened the meetings and in 1832, Westfield Meeting was laid down. In 1868 Friends gathered again at Westfield and started a meeting for worship. The meeting was setup as a monthly meeting again in 1883, and has continued without interruption until present day. The first church was built in the 1780s but decayed before the Civil War , was rebuilt, about 1870 and continued in use until about 1883, when present building was erected. Later to be modernized to its present form in 1939. As of this date, 1951, there are 175 members.
