The current church ‘was drastically re-built in 1852’, but still incorporates some vestiges of the original fifteenth-century building.¹ In 1652 it was the centre of a Separatist movement headed by Thomas Taylor. On the first floor of the right-hand tower of the fourteenth-century Preston Patrick Hall is a room that was once used for the manorial court, where Thomas Camm was tried for witholding church dues. The Friends’ Meeting House was built in 1691 and licensed for worship in 1706.² The village is very near to Camsgill, the ancestral home of John Camm and his son Thomas, where George Fox stayed the night after the meeting at Preston Patrick. Nowadays you must pass under the M6 to get there from the village. At the top right of the map is Crosslands Farm where John Audland took Fox to stay after the meeting on Firbank Fell.
