Settle Quakers hosted five political refugees from 2 to 6 June, while they worked on a dig run by Ingleborough Archaeology Group, near Horton-in-Ribblesdale.

The five each hail from a different African country – Cameroon, Eritrea, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Senegal – and are now living in the Blackburn area.
