Anne Docwra

Anne Docwra was self-taught in law, a feisty participant in the seventeenth-century pamphlet wars, and a prolific preacher of Quakerism. A gentlewoman, but not wealthy, she gave Cambridge a Quaker Meeting House and burial ground, and set up a charity which to this day benefits Cambridgeshire and Peterborough people who are living in poverty. Take a chair in the Meeting House on the site of her home and find out how she did it! This event is hosted by Cambridge Quakers. To find out more about Quakers visit: quaker.org.uk/about-quakers
