A meeting for worship began in Acomb, near York, around 1905. In 1911 a former Primitive Methodist chapel on the Green was converted for a Meeting House. An Allowed Meeting was recognised in 1914, but it did not become a full Preparative Meeting until 1983. Historically a small Meeting, it struggled to continue during the 1930s and 1940s. It is part of York Monthly Meeting and is still in existence.
