Preserving Methodist Heritage Across Cornwall and Devon

The South West Peninsula Methodist Heritage project celebrates and preserves the rich tapestry of Methodist history across Cornwall and Devon. From the dramatic amphitheatre of Gwennap Pit, where John Wesley preached to thousands, to the countless chapels and meeting houses that dot our landscape, this region holds a unique place in the story of Methodism.

Our mission is to document, celebrate, and share the heritage of Methodist sites throughout the South West Peninsula. We work to ensure that future generations can discover and appreciate the remarkable places where faith, community, and social transformation intersected to shape our region's character.

Whether you're researching family history, exploring local heritage, or simply interested in the architectural and cultural legacy of Methodism, our interactive map and comprehensive location database provide a gateway to discovery. Each site tells its own story - of dedication, worship, community spirit, and the enduring impact of Methodist witness in Cornwall and Devon. 

We invite you to explore these sacred spaces, learn their stories, and help us preserve this important chapter of our regional heritage. Together, we can ensure that the Methodist heritage of the South West Peninsula continues to inspire and educate for generations to come.
