The Room that changed the world.

A Short History of The New Room
In 1739 John Wesley was asked by the members of two religious societies in Bristol to create ‘a new room’ where they could meet. Many of the features of early Methodism, including its ‘class system’ (a way of Christians encouraging each other), first appeared at the New Room.
