In the mid-1880s, in one of the grand gestures of the 19th century missionary movement, seven young British men left their universities to devote their lives to spreading the word of God in China. Among the group were two members of Bedford’s Polhill family, and the celebrated England cricketer, C T Studd. National acclaim and the interest of Queen Victoria sent them on their way; Ruth Broomhall explains what became of them.
