BRIEF HISTORY

John Wesley preached at the Methodist Church in Dunbar on 21 occasions. In his diary entry on May 17th 1770 he wrote “In the evening I preached at the new house at Dunbar, the cheerfullest in all the Kingdom.”

Dunbar Methodist Church was erected in 1764 and originally developed from Moravian roots.

It is the oldest Methodist Church in Scotland, and both John, and his brother, Charles were Trustees.

The beautiful pulpit and stained glass windows came from St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh although how they ended up in Dunbar is something of a mystery. Was it because of the spelling error on one of the windows?
