Charles Wesley's House

Charles Wesley's House is a residence museum at 4 Charles Street in Bristol containing six restored rooms from the 18th century. The spaces include a parlor, music room, study, kitchen and two bedrooms that show how a well-off family lived in that period.

Charles Wesley moved into this protected building in 1766 with his wife Sarah and three children. The family left the house in 1771 and relocated to London as Wesley continued his work as a composer and preacher.

The house displays a dedicated space exploring hymn writing and its religious roots. Charles Wesley's work as a composer shaped how people in his time understood spiritual music.

The house requires advance booking for groups of at least ten people. Plan your visit well ahead and contact the museum directly to arrange access since individual drop-in visits are not available.

The property features an authentic herb garden from the 18th century showing what plants and herbs families of that time used daily. In the basement, visitors can watch films about Charles Wesley's musical legacy that explain his life and work.
