John Wesley's New Room
John Wesley's New Room, Methodist chapel in Bristol, England
The rectangular brick building features a double-decker pulpit and an octagonal lantern window that illuminates the main worship space.
The chapel opened in 1739 under John Wesley's direction, establishing the first purpose-built Methodist preaching house where societies gathered for worship.
The building contains an extensive museum displaying artifacts and documents that detail the development of the Methodist movement in Britain.
Visitors can access the chapel, museum, café, and library from Monday through Saturday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM throughout the year.
The upper floor rooms served as living quarters for Methodist preachers and contained a bookstore that produced substantial printed materials between 1695 and 1775.
