On the edge of Ogden Moor stands this historic chapel. John Wesley came to Halifax to preach on the 22nd August 1748 and in the crowd was a man from Bradshaw, near Halifax, named James Riley. Riley said 'Wesley disturbed my conscience and troubled my soul.'
The idea of building a meeting place for the Methodists dates back to 1772 when, during a snowstorm, the visiting preacher was stranded for a week at a house of one of the members of the Methodist society.
