Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845. Remembered 12th August.

Elizabeth was born in Norwich twenty years after Wilberforce and was brought up as a Quaker in a prosperous banking family. Being a ‘plain friend’ she chose not to flaunt the wealth she and her husband Joseph enjoyed and so may have had some qualms about the elaborate vestments favoured by Keble’s circle of Anglo-Catholic clergy but was a strong advocate for the abolitionist movement This chimed with her own passion for prison reform, prompted by seeing the dehumanising conditions in which women and children were kept under lock and key Drawing these to the attention of her middle class friends, she formed Ladies Associations whose members taught the women and children basic hygiene, life skills such as sewing or knitting, and RE Her parliamentary lobbying eventually led to the reforming Gaols Act in 1823 and paved the way for the abolition of transportation after her death, in 1866
