George Abbot, Archbishop of Canterbury under King James I, was not the only member of this Guildford family to achieve national prominence.
His younger brother, Morris, rose to be one of the most powerful merchants in the City of London in the 17th century.
Unlike his brother who suffered opposition, he successfully gained the trust and respect of his fellow merchants. In this talk, Nick will shed light on the life of this lesser known son of the Abbot family.
Nick has been interested in Guildford History for many years and he is currently Leader of the Guildford Town Guides and Chairman of the Friends of Guildford Museum.
