About The Monkey Sanctuary
The Monkey Sanctuary was founded in 1964 by Len Williams, father of classical guitarist John Williams, as a cooperative to care for rescued woolly monkeys. Based in Looe, Cornwall, England, it was home to woolly monkeys descended from the original residents, a growing number of capuchin monkeys rescued from the British pet trade, many marmosets, and a small group of rescued macaques.
