Pendle is steeped in history and legends and is renowned for its connections to the trials of the witches in the 1600s and also as the place where George Fox, a leading Quaker preacher, climbed Pendle Hill and realised he had a message for the world: “I saw the Lancashire sea; and there atop of the hill I was moved to sound the day of the Lord; and the Lord let me see atop of the hill in what places He had a great people to be gathered.” this vison lead to the formation of the worldwide Quaker movement.
