Fox climbed Pendle Hill in 1652 and there had his famous vision
of enlightenment which not only led him to found the Quaker
movement, but also took him, and his mission, across the Atlantic.
Of
the experience, Fox wrote: 'I was moved of the Lord to go
up to the top of it, which I did with much ado, as it was
so very steep and high. When I was come to the top I saw the
sea bordering Lancashire and from the top of this hill the
Lord let me see in what places He had a great people to be
gathered. And I went'.
