The Friends Way route will appeal not only to all Quakers who enjoy
walking, but also to those walkers who don’t yet know about
Margaret Fell's remarkable story. This volume, a sequel to
Friends Way 2, continues the route from Sedbergh to Swarthmoor Hall
near Ulverston. After George Fox reached Swarthmoor Hall, he
deeply impressed Margaret Fell (1614-1702) with his radical ideas.
She later became a committed Quaker who was imprisoned for her
beliefs, and also his wife. She worked tirelessly to organise the
movement, to lobby for releasing prisoners of conscience and to
spread the Quaker word by publishing letters. This book covers her
journey from mistress of Swarthmoor to mother of Quakerism, as well
as devoting a section to Swarthmoor Hall which was and is the most
important centre of Quakerism in northern England. The route
takes in major Quaker sites in Sedbergh and Kendal en route to
Swarthmoor Hall, and it can comfortably be completed inside one
week.
