IMG_5165 IMG_5163 IMG_5159 IMG_5173 IMG_5166Very many thanks to Mike Berris who let us know about the exhibition at St Austell Meeting House, staged by local Quakers – featuring Conscientious Objectors in World War One. The exhibition collected little known information, and photographs, of the men who stood up for their beliefs. Many were imprisoned at Dartmoor.  For more on Conscientious Objectors in Cornwall, click here.
