Leeds: Adel Preparative Meeting of the Society of Friends.
Biographical notes:
This Meeting was settled in 1928 as an offshoot of Carlton Hill Meeting. It formed part of the recently created Leeds Monthly Meeting and became a full Preparative Meeting in 1938. Land given by Hannah Baker at Adel was used to create a burial ground in 1868, after the closure of Leeds Meadow Lane burial ground. A keeper's cottage, with a small Meeting House attached, was built in 1872 and it was this building which Adel Meeting used for worship. The Meeting flourished, but plans for enlarging the Meeting House were postponed by the Second World War and never carried out. The Meeting is still in existence.
