More about this scene
This is not the original Wesleyan church in Horsforth - it replaced a building of 1786. It is an unusual structure, with a double-doored porch, and was built in 1868. The date stone states 1867, but completion was delayed by snow. The Wesleyans were the first to open a college in the Leeds area: at Headingley in 1868. In 1816 they had opened the first night school, where young men aged 15 and over could attend and learn to read and write.
