Wesley's Chapel, Museum of Methodism and John Wesley's House
The ‘Mother Church of World Methodism’ with a museum in the crypt and Wesley’s Georgian townhouse next door. Documents, portraits and everyday objects chart the movement from field preaching to global network; the house preserves the study, prayer room and even Wesley’s experimental electrical machine.

- The museum highlights Wesley’s ‘warmed heart’ conversion and shows early organizational tools like membership tickets that stitched scattered societies together.
- John Wesley’s House preserves a small prayer room that many visitors call the movement’s ‘Power House’.
- Core museum admission is free (donations suggested); guided entry to Wesley’s House is a modest paid add-on.
