When John was in America, he and other weary travellers shared some ginger cake. No mention of candles though!

Methodist class tickets were first issued by John Wesley in 1742. They were received quarterly, and signed and dated by the bearer. They acted as a certificate of membership to a Methodist society. Browse examples from our collections, here. flic.kr/p/2g4WZvn

In our latest #IWD2021 video, Curator Jane Gallagher (@constntdreamer) introduces Sarah Wesley, wife of the co-founder of #Methodism Charles Wesley. Look out for the handwritten note written by Sarah only a few days before Charles’ death – a testament to their lasting love.

Our penultimate #ArchiveAdventCalendar window for 2020 once again looks into our Donald English collection (@MethodistGB), with a news article from Christmas Eve, 1969, about what he describes as being the true "meaning of Christmas". 🎄 @BrookesSpecColl @MethodistHerit

Day 20 of our #ArchiveAdventCalendar! 🎄 'The Apotheosis of John Wesley' (@WesleyHistSoc), this work depicts John Wesley's ascension to Heaven, accompanied by angels. (We'd make a reference to 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing', but... wrong Wesley!) 👼 @MethodistHerit

In light of London moving into Tier 3 restrictions tomorrow, we will be closing the Museum for Christmas a little earlier than planned. We'll still be on social media so do keep in touch! We're looking forward to welcoming our wonderful visitors back in 2021!
