Wesley Methodist Church, Frome
with
Coleford Methodist Chapel
Exhibition at Frome Museum.
As part of Wesley Church’s celebrations this year, there will be a 200 Anniversary Exhibition at Frome Museum opening on 6 June 2012. This rare exhibition illustrates the history of Wesley Chapel built in 1812 at ‘Clay Batch’ (known now as Wesley Slope), the Manse and School complex on ‘Golden Knoll’, and a variety of events over the last 200 years.
There will be many delightful ‘gems’ at the exhibition, particularly from the ‘hoard’ collected by Wesley’s Local Study Group over the years. Not only will there be various historical documents that have been hidden away for two centuries, but also countless captivating photos and items from the past.
So a visit to Frome Museum in June is a ‘must’ to celebrate Wesley’s 200 years of treasures including old documents, vintage photographs, and memorabilia including original deeds from 1812 – before they go to Somerset Archives.
