Notes From Elsewhere
Some of the early campaigners were socialists like the Unitarian Minister The Rev H.V. Mills, who persuaded Labour MPs to address local suffragette meetings.
...Rev Herbert V Mills, who had become the first Labour member of Westmorland County Council in 1892.
Around this time Mills also established a “colony” in Westmorland whose basic purpose was to show that it was possible to rehabilitate individuals who had fallen on difficult times by introducing them to work on the land. This venture received the endorsement of John Ruskin, an early socialist, pioneer of the arts and crafts movement and resident of nearby Coniston.
Born Accrington, Lancashire;
Unitarian Minister, social reformer and founder of short-lived utopian community at Starnthwaite.
