Bits and Bobs!

“John Wesley’s New Room is the oldest Methodist building in the world, located right in the heart of Bristol city centre. Founded in 1739 by John Wesley, the New Room became the cradle of the worldwide Methodist movement. It is home to the original 18th century Chapel, as well as a Museum of John & Charles Wesley's life and work in Bristol.” https://www.newroombristol.org.uk


Into Bristol this morning with my BC friend to visit The New Room. Located right in the middle of Broadmead, surrounded by shops on all sides, I’ve walked past this building hundreds of time. Today I finally visited. As well as an interesting museum, the building houses a great café where we had lunch before heading home. As always, it’s the architecture and the history that interests me, along with this quote I read: “Wesley’s passion for education, freedom and equality for all speak down the centuries to us today.” Other views of the chapel in extras, including a photo of the two tier pulpit.

Total bus journey time = 1hr 1min

Thank you for your kind stars for yesterday’s visit to the library.
