Slavery Abolition Remembered

Vauxhall Conservatives marked the 200th Anniversary of the Abolition of Slavery, brought about by the great Conservative MP William Wilberforce, with two events in Clapham.

The first at St Paul's Church, Rectory Grove was a lecture by David Davis on Wilberforce’s 20 year campaign, conducted from Clapham, that culminated in the Abolition Bill.

The second, a concert at Holy Trinity Church attended by the Mayor of Lambeth, was organised by local Conservative Stuart Barr and included performances by children from local schools.
