A new Quaker heritage trail was launched on Saturday 25 April in Mansfield.
The trail includes a number of local sites of significance to Quakers. Among them are almshouses, whose first residents included Friends, and the site of George Fox’s home when he was an apprentice shoemaker.
Although originally from Leicestershire, George Fox lived in Mansfield from the 1640s onwards. It was during his time in the town that he is said to have had the calling to form a new religion.
