George Fox Buried (1690)
On 13th November 1690, (I am told that with a callender change, he actually died on 13th January 1691) George Fox died after attending a meeting in Gracechurch Street. He was buried in the Quaker burial ground at Bunhill Fields, London.
Fox was a great man, despite all the trials that were put against him he persevered to the end. I think one could use the words of Paul in 2 Timothy 4:7 about Fox, ‘I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.’ How many of us today would carry on while suffering the persecutions he did. His heart and mind were always on the Lord and he achieved much. At the time of his death there were an estimated 50,000 Quakers in this country and many others abroad; this proved to be the zenith of the movement, but it was built on solid ground by Fox and the Quakers still exist today in many countries.
Additional Information
It is unknown exactly where Fox's burial site is as it is the custom of Quakers to not mark graves. In some research I have found an old photo of his gravestone but it was a fake.
