York: Leeman Road Preparative Meeting of the Society of Friends.
A separate Preparative Meeting based at Leeman Road Adult School in York, opened in 1908, and lasted until 1925. It was part of York Monthly Meeting. Its members were mainly newly convinced Friends, drawn from an area of the city inhabited by railway workers. However it had vital support from leading York Friends, including Arnold and Benjamin Seebohm Rowntree. The Adult School itself was the first branch school in York, formed in 1891. By the early 1930s, the school had closed and its property was managed by trustees. The premises suffered war damage during the Second World War.
