Quaker Burial Ground, Firbank Fell
A solitary standing gravestone in the Quaker Graveyard on Firbank Fell, Sedbergh, Cumbria.
In 1652 George Fox was asked to address a large gathering of 'Seekers' at the small chapel that stood on this site. Fox wouldn't go into the chapel to preach but instead spoke for three hours to a thousand strong crowd from the top of an adjacent crag, now known as Fox's Pulpit. That event is said to have started the Quaker Movement. The chapel was destroyed in a storm in the mid 19th century.
