Raithby, Wesley's Chapel

Raithby Wesley's Chapel*

This oldest Methodist place of worship in Lincolnshire, dedicated by John Wesley, was constructed by his close friend Robert Carr Brackenbury. Accessed via a double-curving stone staircase, the wonderfully atmospheric building will host a display ‘The Brackenburys and the World-wide Parish’ describing the ministry in the British Isles and Channel Isles of Brackenbury, the landowner who provided this little building and became a missionary for the movement. His widow, Sarah, continued his work, funding missionaries to South Africa and Fiji. On Saturday morning c11.00 am Revd Alan Robson will talk about Wesley Hymns, the subject of an additional exhibition.
