These are short auto biographies from Quakers and Attenders about themselves. If you want to add your autobiography please send it to Deborah via the Area Meeting Office who will put it on here for you. You can include a photo of yourself or any picture you would like to display. As an example of what you might want to put we have made one up for George Fox, the founder of the Society of Friends (Quakers).

George Fox

I am a shoemaker by trade, the son of a weaver from Leicestershire. My wife is called Margaret. I had a spiritual vision on Pendle Hill in Lancashire and realised that God’s message comes to individuals directly through the Inner Light of their personal inspiration.

I love travelling around and meeting people, while spreading the word of God.

Those who believe me and follow this belief use to call themselves “Friends of the Truth”, but now in this time are more popularly known as Quakers.
