Jonathan Djanogly MP unveiling a plaque to Julia Griffiths Crofts, which was organised by the Local History Society. This is one of a series of plaques to famous residents of St Neots that have been unveiled during the last year. In the 1850’s, Julia Griffiths Crofts was one of the most important campaigners against the slave trade. She moved to St Neots in 1877 and contributed significantly to the foundations of the women’s rights movement. In her later years, Julia set up a ladies school at the Cross – where the Cornerstone Coffee and Booskshop is now located.
