Thomas Aldhamとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Thomas Aldham (died April 1660) was an English Quaker. He lived at Warmsworth, near Doncaster. He was an early disciple of George Fox. In 1652 he was imprisoned in York for speaking in a "steeple-house", and fined £40 for keeping on his hat and saying "thou" to the judge. He was released, after two-and-a-half years' imprisonment, upon application, it is said, to Cromwell. He travelled to various prisons where Quakers were confined, and tried to obtain their release. He prophesied the downfall of the Protector for disregarding his petitions, and died April 1660.
