Book excerpt: The extraordinary story of a woman of the Victorian era who was born at Hempnall, Norfolk, nurtured in Lowestoft, Suffolk, became a 'fringe' member of the Gurney family, and then married a pioneer CMS Missionary priest, David Hinderer, with whom she travelled to West Africa in 1852. They established the first Christian mission at Ibadan where they lived until 1869. During the years at the Mission, Anna and David endured the most horrendous ordeals of isolation, illness and starvation as a result of tribal warfare, before returning to England. Anna died in a Norfolk vicarage.
