Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Newcastle-upon-Tyne was considered as John Wesley’s northern ‘cornerstone’ in England. He made around 50 visits in 50 years. Wesley Square on the quay includes memorial obelisk (recently refurbished) to John Wesley, who first preached on Tyneside here in May 1742.

Nearby Keelmens’ Hospital was an early Methodist base in the area.
