Quakers in film

Quakers featured in Western films of the 1940s and 1950s, starring alongside stars such as Gary Cooper and John Wayne, were among the subjects highlighted at a recent conference in Stoke-on-Trent.

Three research projects on Quakers in historical fictions were presented at the third Historical Fictions Research Network conference at Trentham Gardens in the city on 24-25 February.
