Légende

Richard Baxter's House at Acton, [west London,] 1898. 'It is proposed by those interested to save this historic house from the demolition which at present threatens it.' English Nonconformist church leader and theological writer Richard Baxter (1615-1691) has been described as "the chief of English Protestant Schoolmen". From 1662 until the indulgence of 1687, Baxter's life was constantly disturbed by persecution of one kind or another. He retired to Acton in Middlesex, for the purpose of quiet study, but was placed in prison for keeping a conventicle, a dissenters' religious meeting. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
