Britain's What's On Event Guide
Beverley Toll Gavel United Church
Heritage Open Day: An imposing chapel in the heart of Beverley, with a number of events and workshops for Heritage Open Days. A grand late Victorian Methodist church with a wonderful interior, in the heart of Beverley.
The Methodists established their congregation in Beverley in the 1750s, in a house in Wednesday Market where John Wesley had preached on his first visit in 1759, the first of many visits. The following year George Whitefield preached in the courtyard of the Hotham family’s grand house in Eastgate (demolished in 1766). A building in Wood Lane was bought in the names of leading Methodists in 1781. Other buildings followed, some to house different forms of Methodism, that eventually united once more under the roof of the Toll Gavel United Church in the 20th century.
