This walk, led by Footprints of London Guide Rob Smith, looks at the founding of the Quaker faith in London.

Starting at the Society of Genealogists offices, the walk will visit the burial ground where 4000 people followed the English Quaker founder George Fox’s funeral procession in 1690. We‘ll also be visiting Bunhill Fields, the non-conformist burial ground, before crossing into the City of London to hear about the Quakers involvement in the abolition of the trade in enslaved persons at the site of the Devonshire Meeting House, and talking about Quaker involvement in creating banks that form an important part of the City of London today. 

The walk will be about 90 minutes and finishes near Bank station.
