William Facey traces Britain's relations with Islam back a thousand years
William Facey, writer and publisher on the Arabian Peninsula, traces Britain's relations with Islam back a thousand years. The first recorded Briton to perform Hajj was Joseph Pitts of Exeter, who went to Mecca in about 1685. In 1933, Mecca welcomes its first British woman convert, Lady Evelyn Cobbold. In between, various Britons, bouth devout and fraudulent, made their way to Mecca, with motives as diverse as their personalities.
