Swarthmoor Hall, and the Fell Family: main film

This video takes us to Ulverston, to Swarthmoor Hall which was the Fell family home and to Ulverston Church where Margaret Fell is so moved by Fox’s preaching.

Why do you think Fox may have come to Ulverston and to Swarthmoor Hall? What sense do you get of how Fox reacts to the people he meets on his travels? Does it depend on who they are or does he treat everyone in the same way?

Don’t forget you can refer to the Timeline of Key Events, short biographies of the Key People and contextual notes.
