Work to restore the Rehoboth started the day we cut the gate’s rusty chains and ventured beyond its ivy covered walls for the first time in almost two decades.
About Us & Our Work
In March 2019 Friends of Farsley Rehoboth established an accredited Charity. In May 2019 our Charity purchased the Farsley Rehoboth Baptist Burial Ground with the aim of returning this wonderful place of heritage back to the community as a Community Asset. Work commenced immediately, reclaiming the graveyard and ensuring the preservation of the ecology and landscape.

Community support has been vital and to date we have inducted over 90 volunteers, welcomed over 400 residents for pre-booked tours including 90 year old Doris on her first visit since 1940.
Our heritage service provides pre-booked conducted tours to the general public and relatives on a weekly basis.
Timeline of our restoration work so far…
Since June 2019 our volunteers have reclaimed over one acre of the site and reclaimed hundreds of graves, discover in detail the work we have achieved so far along with the projects we still hope to undertake below…
