The
Methodist Heritage website tells us:
The Moravians used this site at Fetter Lane from 1740
onwards. It was the first Moravian chapel in Britain and was officially
registered in 1742. John and Charles Wesley were inspired by the experiences
they shared with the Moravians and met with the Fetter Lane society
frequently throughout 1738, but eventually broke away from the society in
1739.
