Reviews
From the Foreword
“This book by Peter Collins is a most welcome and timely addition to the local histories of British Quakerism.”
-Prof. Ben Pink Dandelion, University of Birmingham
"This is a substantial piece of research making use of all kinds of Quaker records from the earliest time to the time of writing. They are helpfully listed in a lengthy bibliography of manuscript sources and printed materials. Peter Collins describes his work as a labour of love, and it must have ocuppied a great deal of his time. The result is extremely interesting as a much fuller local Quaker history than one usually finds." -Journal of the Friends Historical Society
