John Wesley founded Kingswood School
in 1748. Originally in Bristol, it outgrew
the original site and moved to its present
location in Bath in 1852. The Wesley
Centre traces the historical development
of Kingswood School from its foundation
in 1748 to the present day. The archive
has a wealth of information for both
family and Wesley historians, and
displays include Wesleyana, memorabilia
and models.
