A plaque commemorates the life of Thomas Fowell Buxton (1786-1845),MP for Weymouth and social reformer, who was asked by William Wilberforce to continue the campaign against slavery in Parliament when Wilberforce retired. He founded, with Wilberforce, the Society for the Mitigation and Gradual Abolition of Slavery in 1823.
He became vice-president of the Anti-Slavery Society, and in 1839 he established the Society for the Extinction of the Slave Trade and the Civilisation of Africa. He is also commemorated along with his fellow campaigners by the Buxton Memorial Fountain, put up by his son, which now stands in Victoria Tower Gardens, London W1. A memorial statue of Fowell Buxton was put up by public subscription in Westminster Abbey (S3).
