Local to preacher arriving to take a service: "Don't bother, your chapel has blown down." Fortunately it hadn't & he didn't (not bother that is). Great new page on the history of the Methodist chapels at Lower Heyford #Oxfordshire

His parents couldn’t afford to pay for music lessons. His sisters worried their house would be burned down by suffragettes. The fascinating life story of George Langford, organist and Methodist local preacher:

Items brought forward in a Litany of Thanksgiving at the final service at Cowley Road @MethodistGB Church #Oxford this afternoon and also something to take away: hymn numbers with hymns on the reverse. What a brilliant idea!
Great visitor numbers @OxfordWesley for @OxRideStride and #OxfordOpenDoors. Lovely music too
Plenty of early bird visitors already @OxfordWesley getting a chance to hear the organ

The original font @OxfordWesley was a miniature Minton ceramic copy of the font @marymagsoxford . When it was replaced by a floor standing font in 1963 it was transferred to another @MethodistGB church in #Oxford #FontsOnFriday
For the second time in a month I find myself holding a tiny #serpentine font this time at the #Methodist #Heritage centre in Wighton, Norfolk. The font came from the North Walsham area. #FontsOnFriday
Great ‘field trip’ today to visit the East Anglia #Methodist Heritage Centre at Wighton, North Norfolk. Super displays, interesting objects, friendly welcome plus coffee and biscuits!
It was a poignant pleasure to visit the exhibition of Jim Godfrey’s art work @ChChCathedralOx today. Such talent, humour and eye for detail. A very special person. Sorely missed by us all.

Named after a Wesleyan cotton manufacturer and a Primitive Methodist jam manufacturer, this annual #Methodist lecture will be given @OxfordWesley this evening. Looking forward to being challenged by this message.
Great to welcome the Wesleyan Pilgrimage 2024 to @OxfordWesley today. They loved our lenticular panels in the heritage atrium.
Super excited to have seen and handled this tiny #serpentine font @morethanadodo this morning. Only about 16cm tall it’s possible that it was an apprentice piece but equally could have been used as a travelling #font for home baptisms or was made as a souvenir. #FontsOnFriday
