John Wesley's New Room is a historic building in Broadmead, Bristol, England. Opened in June 1739, it housed the earliest Methodist societies, and was enlarged in 1748.[1] As the oldest purpose-built Methodist preaching house (chapel), it has been designated by Historic England as a Grade I listed building.[2]
A Methodist museum is housed in the preachers' rooms above the chapel. The courtyards around the building contain statues of John Wesley[3] and his brother Charles.[4]
