Bringing Friends together

Friends from Meetings across two counties had the opportunity to gather together on 7 July to remember George Fox.

Terry Faull, of Bude Meeting, told Eye that Quakers from Cornwall and Devon ‘held a joint Meeting for Worship near Doomsdale, the underground prison cell where George Fox and many early Friends were held in dreadful conditions for many weeks in the 17th and 18th centuries’.
