Whitfield Tabernacle Open Day

Heritage Open Day: A chance to see what progress has been made towards turning an abandoned Grade I listed meeting house into a useful community building, and to learn about the history and significance of the building before work starts on Phase II. The Whitfield Tabernacle was built by local preacher John Cennick to serve as a meeting house for the followers of George Whitefield. Whitefield has been part of the Wesley's 'Holy Club' in Oxford and went out to America in 1739 to take over John Wesley's preaching duties. Prior to this, George's preaching in Bristol and Kingswood had attracted thousands of followers. His impact amongst the miners of the Kingswood area had been particularly powerful.
