The Chapel was erected in 1785 and Mr Wesley himself preached here. Services are still held in it occasionally. John Wesley first visited Winchelsea in 1772 and the townspeople were so taken with his preaching that they responded in 1785 by building a preaching house, Winchelsea Chapel. Four years later Wesley returned to preach in the Chapel and was in Winchelsea again on October 7, 1790 when he preached his last open air sermon under a tree in the town centre. The Chapel retains many of its original features, including the pulpit, and is a place of great peace and charm. Regular monthly services or activities are now
held at the Chapel and circuit events also take place. Many individuals
and some groups have enjoyed visiting the Chapel, and if you would like to
