St Andrew's Church, Sedbergh.

On 9 June 1652 ('Whitsunwednesday'), Fox preached under a yew tree in the churchyard. A piece of the tree is shown inside the church. Unfortunately the original market cross is not in place, as William Dewsbury knocked it down during some enthusiastic preaching in 1653. A piece is in Brigflatts graveyard.
