John Wesley's New Room

John and Charles Wesley were among the Dissenters from the Church of England who found a home in Bristol, and, in 1739, they built the New Room, a meeting place that became the first Methodist chapel. Its simplicity contrasts with the style of Anglican churches and with the modern shopping center hemming it in. Upstairs you can visit the Preachers' Rooms, now containing a small museum. Charles Wesley's house, situated nearby, is also visitable (online bookings only).
