Lost grave of daughter of Black abolitionist Olaudah Equiano found by A-level student Fitzwilliam Museum has uncovered student’s work from 1977 that revealed Cambridgeshire location of child’s burial place

'His book tour brought him to Cambridgeshire, where he would marry and have two children with Susannah Cullen, an Englishwoman from Ely. They settled in Soham, supported by a local network including abolitionist friends, safe...when reactionary β€œchurch and king” mobs were targeting reformers.' 1/3

I polled my students during today's lecture on which Cockney 'To the Grasshopper and the Cricket' sonnet they prefer. Keats wins by a landslide! (Hunt on the left and K on the right)
