Thomas Aldham
Thomas Aldham or Aldam (c. 1616–1660) was an English Quaker.
==Founder==
Nothing is known of Aldham's parentage. He farmed successfully at Warmsworth, near Doncaster. In 1644, he married Mary Killam (d. 1660), whom her son Thomas described as "a Woman that truly feared God, and served him in her Day and Generation."〔ODNB entry: (Retrieved 30 September 2011. Subscription required. )〕 Aldham's son William was instrumental in opening the first permanent meeting house in the area, a building that survives as a private house in Quaker Lane.
Aldham was an early disciple of George Fox, with whom he was instrumental in establishing the Balby meeting.〔Doncaster Friends site: (Retrieved 30 September 2011. )〕 Fox, who had suffered violent assaults in Tickhill and Doncaster, preached for several hours under a walnut tree in Balby in 1652 to a large crowd. (A chair in the present Doncaster Meeting House is made from wood from this tree, and a table made from it was sent to America in 1967.)〔History of Doncaster Quakers: (Retrieved 30 September 2011. )〕
