John Wesley (1703-1791), one of the most influential personalities of the eighteenth century, is the founder of Methodism. He built Wesley's Chapel as his London base. It was designed by the architect George Dance the Younger, surveyor to the City of London and was built in 1778 by the builder Samuel Tooth, a class leader and local preacher. It stands on a site previously used as a dump for St Paul's Cathedral just outside the city of London, opposite Bunhill Fields the nonconformist cemetery. Known the world over as the Cathedral of World Methodism Wesley described his Chapel as perfectly neat but not fine. It is one of London's undiscovered jewels.
