Woodend is a hamlet situated between the Duddon Valley and the village of Ulpha and the valley of Eskdale, high up on Birker Fell, approximately 950 feet above sea level.[1] It is claimed to have been an early Quaker settlement. With views towards Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain, it is very close to Devoke Water, one of the Lake District tarns.
A local historian recorded that "In the farmyard at Woodend can be seen a building used as a kind of barn, but with quite good mullion windows. This was the meeting house of the "Friends"."[2]
