Quakers today work to end violence in the world's worst conflict zones. The peace loving religious movement was born 350 years ago, out of the horrors of the English Civil War and spread to America - Pennsylvania is named after the early Quaker, William Penn. George Fox, was inspired to found the movement during an intense spiritual crisis as he walked through one of the most remote and beautiful parts of northern England. Alan Clowes runs a 400-year-inn in the heart of this 'Quaker Country". Here he follows George Fox's journey and we hear Fox's inspiring words, and see the dramatic outdoor 'pulpit' where he preached to thousands. Video Credit: Mr. T Brearley
