Fox's Pulpit, Firbank Fell
The 1952 plaque on Fox's Pulpit, Firbank Fell, Sedbergh, Cumbria.
In 1652, George Fox visited the area to meet the Westmorland Seekers, a group of people who were disillusioned with the established church. Fox stayed with the leader of the Seekers, Richard Robinson at Brigflatts and later that week preached in the grounds of Sedbergh Church. He then went on to hold a huge open-air meeting on Firbank Fell, where he preached for over three hours to a crowd of about a thousand people. This site is now regarded as the birthplace of Quakerism, The Religious Society of Friends.
