• "Quaker Graveyard" website documents a brief history including, "During and after the English Civil War (1642-1651) many dissenting Christian groups emerged...dissatisfied with the teachings of the Church of England and non-conformists....a revelation that 'there is one, even, Christ Jesus, who can speak to thy condition,' and became convinced that it was possible to have a direct experience of Christ without the aid of ordained clergy. Quakerism gained a significant following in England and Wales, and the numbers increased to a peak of 60,000 by 1680....There were many Quakers in the Wilmslow, Moberley, and and Morley area. They had to practice in secret private houses...official persecution under the Quaker Act 1662.
