In this popular talk John tells the extraordinary story of the Shakers of North America, exploring their beginnings, what they believed and how they lived their lives before examining examples of their wonderful buildings and furniture. For it is only with such an understanding of their devout faith and way of life that we can begin to appreciate their intriguing legacy.
We had many enthusiastic comments from members as they left, they all appreciated the wonderful images, your lucid style of delivery as well as the breadth of information and insight into the Shaker movement. The Secretary, Westerham Fine Arts Society
