Quakers in Malhamdale – Introduction

The Quakers in Malhamdale

Introduction

Researched by members of Malhamdale Local History Group and first presented in 2010 at the Airton Friends Meeting House after it had undergone extensive restoration, these pages are based on the four speakers’ notes.

Due to the fact they were the speaker’s notes and intended as a memoir rather than a script, they are mainly simple brief statements of the facts. Some editing has been carried out and additional material provided where possible to add further information.

Thanks go to the original speakers: Robin Bundy, Rosemary Bundy, Victoria Spence and Michael Gomersall, for providing their notes for inclusion, to David Tippey for creating the Powerpoint presentation and display boards for the talk, and to all the other people who helped with the research.
