Speaking to the Chichester Observer, Quaker Jenny Cole said that the podcasts replace a walk around Chichester which has featured in previous years of the festival. ‘They are mainly about famous Quakers who have visited Chichester, from George Fox to Ian Serraillier (author of The Silver Sword), including Barton Hack who helped found the city of Adelaide and William Smith who installed the city’s first sewage system,’ she said.
Former mayor of Chichester Michael Woolley launched the short recordings at a meeting on 3 July. The councillor spoke briefly about how he became involved with Quaker history before playing three of the podcasts and taking questions.
