Hannah More

Hannah More put her Christian beliefs into practice through Sunday schools, social welfare work and wider campaigning for evangelical biblical Christianity. Lay women played an immensely important role in the evangelical revival and its aftermath.
Hannah had a gift for writing from which she made her fortune. She was converted somewhere in the period 1785-87 which changed her life. In London she joined Wilberforce and Newton as prominent Christian campaigners against slavery.
When not in London, she lived in the area around Cheddar Gorge and put her Christian beliefs to very practical use. She established Sunday schools for the children of the poor, so that they could both learn to read and, of course, as part of that, to read the Bible. She established women's benefit clubs to try and encourage a degree of independence for poor women. She also wrote a lot of Christian literature setting out the claims of Christ upon us.
Hannah More combined working with the well-heeled of London on the big campaigns with a real involvement in the life of the poor in Somerset. A Christian who put faith into practice.
