"He is our cousin, Cousin": A Quaker Family's History from 1660 to the Present Day

Antony Barlow comes from a very old Quaker family, dating back to the earliest days of Quakerism in the 17th century, when members were still being persecuted for their beliefs. On the death of his mother, Joan Barlow, in 2007 at the age of 93, he became the custodian of the invaluable collection of family archives, including fading ancient letters, crumbling historical documents, daguerreotypes, and, perhaps most importantly, their old family Bible dating from 1616. This wonderful old book has an amazing history all its own, as in the days of persecution, its first owner, James Lancaster, fleeing from the law, dropped it while crossing Morecambe Bay, and the stains are still visible even today. This is one of many stories vividly recounted in this intriguing story.

The book also tells how a group of Dissenters in the 1650s, followers of George Fox, broke away from what he saw as the corruption of the established church and set out on their own, seeking what he called "the light of God in everyone" without dogma or creed. Many were imprisoned for their beliefs but over the centuries have come to be respected for their honest dealings and courage in the face of oppression, with famous names such as the prison reformer Elizabeth Fry, abolitionist Samuel Bowly, philanthropist George Cadbury, educational reformer Joseph Rowntree, pacifist John Henry Barlow, and diplomat and Peace prize laureate Philip Noel Baker all featuring largely in this story.
