Burntwood Methodist Church: mid August 2020

Methodism began as a revival movement within the Church of England in the 18th century. Lead by the brothers John and Charles Wesley, it taught a methodical interpretation of Protestantism that stressed salvation was available for all. It separated from the established church in the 1790s but within 30 years it had itself split into Primitive and Wesleyan branches. Gradually these two forms converged until a formal reunification was achieved in 1932. Today it has about 80 million adherents worldwide.

Hammerwich Station, where is it?

Footbridge over the derelict Lichfield to Walsall Railway Line. The Hammerwich Station stood on this spot, and the bridge was used to cross over the track.
