They have contacts across Great Britain and since coming to Cumbria in 1995 contacts have been made across the Christian Arts in Cumbria. At present there are 17 local branches covering the greater part of the British Isles which seek to gather together people who wish to stimulate interest in Methodists history and its traditions in a particular area. The Cumbria branch was formed in 1976 with the aim of maintaining an interest in the life and work of John and Charles Wesley, in Methodist history in general, in its chapels and their architecture placed within the broader patterns of English history with particular reference to Cumbria. Each year a lecture is delivered and occasional meetings are sometimes held in different venues in the county. An outing is arranged each year in late Spring and early Summer.
Non members are welcome to join in our activities.
A 'Journal' is published twice a year which contains articles, brief notes of significant events relating to chapels, branch activities, etc. Every Tuesday 2.30pm, Church of The Nazarene, Newtown Road, Carlisle. For 55 years of age and over for fun and fellowship - guest speakers, refreshments, day trips etc. Last Tuesday of the month - Carrow House Hotel, London Rd. St Paul's, Carlisle.
