George Bennet
 The London Missionary Society believed that people in all
parts of the world should be given the chance to convert to
Christianity.
George Bennet was sent
by the Society to discover the state of 'Godliness' in
the distant corners of the earth. He spent eight years
(1821 - 1829) travelling over 90,000 miles finding out
if the Society's missionaries were converting the people
of the world.
George Bennet is not
buried in the cemetery, but his monument, although now
showing signs of vandalism and erosion, commemorates his
life and that epic journey. |
