'Boatswain' Smith 1782-1863 was a remarkable figure, after serving in the navy under Nelson he became a Baptist minister devoted to sailors welfare. He preached on ships & founded maritime charities, magazines & a floating sanctuary 'The Ark' in an old sloop #nationalmaritimeday

Election days are a time to look to the future but we couldn't help sharing an amazing item from the political past, a 1662 parliamentary speech given by a ghost! 'I am come from the dead. Will you believe me?' it asks. A 17th century ghost with spirit, but probably no manifesto

It was a pleasure to visit Regent’s Park College, Oxford today to discuss Freedom of Religion or Belief. Especially as I got to see original pamphlets/letters from the likes of Locke, Wilberforce & Clarkson illustrating the historic British promotion of human rights & toleration
