I used a magnifier that came with my computer and one was indeed a shoe (along with shoelaces), but the other was just a cloth wrapped around her poor little foot. I am not a Quaker, but I am a person who cares deeply about the plight of children then and now.

Being a Quaker myself I am very interested in their history. It’s amazing how much I have discovered about Quakers just recently and the work they have been involved in over the centuries. I really must have this book when it comes out.

The Bedford Institute in Spitalfields was started by William Beck and some other Stoke Newington Quakers.

Roger was antique dealer and collector of wonderful folk art. Christies sold some of his collection in 2009, here:

The Peter Bedford Trust, which must be related, still operates in Highbury:

She seems to be wearing that same pair of utterly worn out boots, poor thing.
