What is recorded here

This brass commemorative plaque records: Let Your Lives Speak. Here or near this rock George Fox preached to about one thousand seekers for three hours on Sunday June 13, 1652. Great power inspired his message and the meeting proved of first importance in gathering the Society of Friends known as Quakers. Many men and women convinced of the truth on this fell and in other parts of the Northern Counties went forth through the land and over the seas with the living word of the Lord enduring great hardships and winning multitudes to Christ. Recorded plaque organisation: Religious Society of Friends.
