Jordans: A Quaker Shrine, Past and Present is a book written by Ernest Warner that provides a comprehensive account of the history and significance of Jordans, a small village in Buckinghamshire, England that is renowned for its association with the Quaker movement. The book explores the origins of the Quaker movement and its early leaders, including George Fox, who preached in the area in the 17th century. It also delves into the history of the village itself, tracing its development from a rural community into a center of Quaker worship and activism.Throughout the book, Warner provides a detailed description of the various Quaker meeting houses and other buildings in Jordans, as well as the many notable Quakers who have lived and worked in the area over the centuries. He also examines the impact of Quakerism on the wider community, including its role in the abolition of slavery and other social justice causes.The book is illustrated with numerous photographs and drawings, as well as maps and other historical documents. It provides a fascinating insight into the history and culture of the Quaker movement, as well as the unique character of Jordans and its enduring significance as a Quaker shrine.1921.
