Surrey Quakers feature in an archive collection exploring the local abolition movement to celebrate Black History Month. The material was compiled by the Surrey Heritage team as part of its ‘Marvel of the Month’ collection for the Surrey History Centre.

Surrey Quakers feature alongside MP Henry Drummond and Guildford Anti-Slavery Committee, and political reformer Stephen Lushington.
