Society of the Friends of the Liberties

The Society of the Friends of the Liberties was an organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the historical and cultural significance of certain urban areas, known as liberties or outlying districts, in London. These liberties had unique legal rights and histories that distinguished them from the rest of the city. The society aimed to protect these areas from improper development, maintain their character, and educate the public about their importance. Essentially, it was a group focused on safeguarding the heritage and identity of specific parts of the city to ensure their history was valued and preserved amid urban change.
