The Wesley Historical Society was founded in 1893 for the advancement of interest in the history of all branches of the Methodist Church.
Rev John Wesley
1703 - 1791
'I look upon the whole
world as my parish'
Rev Charles Wesley
1707 - 1788
'God buries His workmen,
but carries on His work'
Wesleyan and Methodist heritage is an integral part of the history of countries worldwide and we welcome everyone who is interested in their own roots, culture and history to visit the pages in this web site.
Wesley Historical Society Library at Oxford Brookes.
Could
members please note that though the Oxford Brookes site has not returned to
normal functioning, the W.H.S Library and OCMCH collections generally are
now open for business 'virtually'. The staff will do their utmost to check
references and scan pages from books. This will be so long as they can
continue to have access to the campus.
