Adel Quaker Meeting House and burial ground
New Adel Lane, 387 Otley Old Road, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS16 6BX
A 19th century building with an extension added around 2009. Visitors can view the meeting room set out for weekly Meetings for Worship, inspect an exhibition describing the history of the house and giving an insight into Quakerism in the locality. The burial ground features rows of resting places denoted by the traditional uniform Quaker headstones, including two graves of the War Graves Commission. There is also a garden at the rear of the house in which visitors are free to wander. There is ample parking space on sight and one parking bay for blue-badge holders. Attached to the meeting house is a caretaker's cottage which, however, is not open to the public since it is privately occupied.
