Cotherstone Quaker Meeting House
Heritage Open Day: A chance to visit an eighteenth-century meeting house in open country. Its history dates back to 1654, when George Fox reached Teesdale on foot, inspiring generations of local Quakers. Adults and children can expect a friendly welcome. In tune with this year’s Heritage Open Days theme of routes, networks and connections, we celebrate in 2024 the 400th birthday of George Fox, founder of the Society of Friends, who travelled on foot throughout England after the Civil Wars. Fox taught that the way to peace and truth is within, not in the rituals of established religion, encouraging his followers to “walk cheerfully over the world†and to cherish equality and simplicity.
