Horses and Quaker history at Gildersome

Over 300 years of Quaker history was on display at the Grade 2 listed Gildersome Quaker Meeting House when the building was opened as part of Heritage Open Day on Sunday 13 September.

One of the most interesting historic features at the Meeting house, which was built in 1756, is the stables, which were installed to accommodate the horses of Quaker visitors from Leeds and other areas. The stables were built in 1849 and have remained unchanged since then.
