Dundry Close, BRISTOL, BS15 9QW

This lane is an old one - part of the original layout of roads in previous centuries. The houses are fairly recent arrivals. Further along the lane was the old Free Methodist Chapel, and later Misssion Hall.

It is hard to believe this area was once a significant coal field with many pits. There are now few clues.

The origin of the Methodist movement is marked here on Hanham Mount. In 1739 John Wesley, along with the likes of George Whitfield and John Cennick the Moravian, held open-air services. The movement was disregarded by the establishment and prevented much of their work, particularly building a church. So Wesley preached in the open air to the many attendees, who were mainly from the coal-mining areas of Kingswood (then a separate region from Bristol). This site is given over to a memorial, which includes this space where a pulpit once stood. Here Wesley would give a sermon on The Mount.
