A young man named George Fox was dissatisfied by the teachings of the Church of England. He had a revelation that there is one, 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 an ordained clergy. In 1652 he had a vision on Pendle Hill in Lancashire, England, in which he believed that "the Lord let me see in what places he had a great people to be gathered".

("Spaghetti Junction" is a nickname sometimes given to a complicated or massively intertwined road traffic interchange that resembles a plate of spaghetti. The term was originally used to refer to the Gravelly Hill Interchange on the M6 motorway in Birmingham, United Kingdom).
