A Friend from Redland Meeting in Bristol has played a key role in the putting up of a blue plaque to commemorate the city’s ‘nonmilitant’ suffrage campaigners. Lucienne Boyce, of Redland Meeting, campaigned for the blue plaque to be installed at 3 West Mall, Clifton to mark the home of The Bristol and West of England Society for Women’s Suffrage. The plaque was unveiled on 15 December 2018 by Bristol West Labour MP Thangam Debbonaire who has spoken out previously about her Quaker heritage.
