ABOUT JOHN CADBURY

Chocolate entrepreneur who created the modern chocolate bar and founded Cadbury plc.

He suffered early exclusion from top universities because of his Quaker religion.

He also founded the animal rights group that would later become the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

He married Candia Barrow, his second wife, in 1831. He had six children: John, Richard, Maria, George, Joseph, Edward, and Henry.

He helped lead the modern chocolate era, much like his American counterpart Frank Mars .
