The Methodist Movement traces its roots to John Wesley's evangelistic revival movement. John and his brother Charles founded the Holy Club while John was a professor at Oxford. The club, derided as "Methodist" by students because of club's members methodical holy lives, turned mockery into a title of honor. This Heritage Trail visits London's John Wesley's Chapel and house, Bunhill Field (once burial ground of Dissenters), with the graves of Susanna Wesley (mother of John and Charles). Other London's sites are the place where John had a profound religious experience, the school John attended, and Susanna's birthplace. Travel to Epworth, birthplace of John and Charles and in Bristol join a service in the Wesley's New Room, the oldest Methodist chapel in the world, established in 1739. Also visit Gloucester where George Whitfield began his ministry that helped spread the movement as far as the American colonies. Our Trail will be enriched by a visit to Coventry's new cathedral, rising against the ruin the old cathedral destroyed in WWI, to Elizabethan Stratford-upon-Avon, intimately associated with William Shakespeare. In Gloucester we visit the church from which Anglican layman Robert Raikes launched the Sunday School movement and where the Women's Missionary Movement began. Back in London you may explore historic churches, public buildings, theater, cosmopolitan cuisine and great shopping.
