Ilkley Preparative Meeting of the Society of Friends.

An Allowed Meeting opened in Ilkley in 1862, as part of Brighouse Monthly Meeting. It is said to have been settled from Addingham Meeting. It acquired its own purpose-built Meeting House in Queen's Road in 1869. A few years later, in 1872, it became a full Preparative Meeting. Thomas Pumphrey was briefly a member of the Meeting, after his retirement from Ackworth School in the months leading up to his death. From 1924 onwards, the Meeting joined the newly formed Leeds Monthly Meeting. It is still in existence.
