Huddersfield and Wooldale Meeting Houses were among the places of worship that opened in the wake of the murder of Jo Cox, MP, on 16 June. The Meeting houses opened that evening to offer space for stillness of mind and quiet reflection.
On Sunday Otley Meeting House bore a banner that read: ‘Otley Quakers remember Jo Cox’.
A Friend explained that ‘it’s what was in our hearts to say and it shows that we share the same feelings as everyone else’.
