Adel History Play: Workshop at Adel St John’s School Adel Parish Boundary Walk passes the Quaker Meeting House. It is here that Social Reformer, Isabella Ford, used to come with her family. Isabella Ford is featured in Mick McCann’s book ‘How Leeds Changed the World’.

They had a lively workshop afternoon in school with Pat Riley and Val Crompton, ending with dramatic presentations by the groups of their findings.
