A village in Pudsey in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough, West Yorkshire, England.

It was established in 1744 when members of the Moravian Church settled here. Within the next few years housing, a school and a chapel were built. The chapel building was completed in 1748. In 1753 and 1755 the Boys' and Girls' Schools were opened, merging in 1994 to form a single school.

The settlement is named after Fulneck (Cz.: Fulnek), the German name of a town in Northern Moravia, Czech Republic: wikimapia.org/#lat=49.7135194&lon=17.907114&z=15&l=0&m...

The village (grid reference SE225319) lies in a picturesque location on a hillside overlooking a deep valley. Along the bottom of the valley flows Pudsey Beck.
