Biographical History
Friends within this area of the East Riding were originally part of Selby Meeting, which had been settled by 1665 and was recorded in 1669 as a constituent of York Monthly Meeting. A separate Meeting seems to have emerged in Skipwith by 1670, when large numbers of Friends suffered distraint of goods for holding meetings for worship in the village. Of these, John Winder, George and Stephen Tomson, William Ward and Francis Herbert, all of Skipwith, were excommunicated in 1684 and imprisoned at York. Several Friends from East and West Cottingwith paid fines for non-payment of tithes during the 1680s. The Meeting had acquired a burial ground in Skipwith by 1717. Friends began to meet in Cottingwith in the late 18th century and the name of the Meeting was changed to reflect this in April 1773. A Meeting House was built in Cottingwith in 1789 and a burial ground opened the following year. The Meeting moved again in 1876 to neighbouring Bubwith and a small Meeting House was erected two years later. This was in use until the closure of the Meeting in 1912.
