John Wesley’s New Room

Built in 1739, this serene Georgian building served as the cradle of Methodism, and visitors can still feel the weight of history in the beautifully preserved wooden pews and the double-decker pulpit.

The site includes a modern, award-winning museum that tells the story of the Wesley brothers and their influential work in social reform, education, and abolition.

Outside, the quiet courtyard provides a peaceful escape from the city’s commercial centre, while the onsite library and cafe offer space for reflection and research.

It is a fascinating destination that explores the intersection of faith, social justice, and Bristol’s 18th-century heritage.
