Bust Of William Knibb, Manor House Museum, Kettering. PANEL WITH WILLIAM KNIBB: EKTA felt that it was important to depict William KNIBB in the panels but have chosen non-naturalistic colours. On one side of his head there are oak leaves and acorns to symbolise his roots in Kettering and on the other side there are palm leaves to symbolise his time in Jamaica, a time which had a profound impact on him. Beneath him are two lines of 'paper-chain' figures holding hands: paper chains just like all bondage can and will be broken. William KNIBB was instrumental breaking such chains. The dates underneath this show birth and death. The William Knibb Centre, Kettering. The Mission House in Kettering where the Baptist Missionary Society was formed on October 2nd 1792.

To the Memory of William Knibb who departed this life on the 15th November, 1845, in the 43rd year of his age. This monument was erected by the emancipated slaves to whose to enfranchisement and elevation his indefatigable exertions so largely contributed; by his fellow-labourers, who admired and loved him, and deeply deplore his early removal; and by friends of various creeds and parties, as an expression of their esteem for one whose praise as a man, a philanthropist, and a Christian minister, is in all the churches, and who, being dead, yet speaketh.
