In the late 1890s the Oriental Institute began awarding degrees under the auspices of the University of Lahore, but it closed for ever in the summer following Dr Leitner’s death. Two reminders of the Oriental Institute survive in Woking: the Mosque and Oriental Road, named after the Institute.
Dr Leitner is buried in plot 2.
The Woking (or Shah Jehan) Mosque is shown in the image to the right. It was designed by the architect W.I. Chambers and opened in 1889.
