The Foundery

In 1778, the Methodist congregation was moved to the nearby purpose-built Wesley's Chapel on City Road.

Matthew Bagley had the foundry built c. 1684 in Windmill Hill (now Tabernacle Street),[1] Moorfields on the north side of the City of London.

[3][5] A new cannon foundry was opened (c. 1717) on the Board of Ordnance's Woolwich site southeast of London.

The building was later used from 1739 as the first Methodist chapel in London by John Wesley[6] (a plaque in Tabernacle Street marks the nearby location).

[8] The Foundery complex also provided a free dispensary which opened in 1746 and the Methodists appointed an apothecary and a surgeon.
