The oldest Methodist building in the world - the New Room, also known as "John Wesley's Chapel". The New Room was built in 1739 and enlarged in 1748. <br />
This window looks down into the Chapel: It is thought that John Wesley sometimes stood here to observe the preachers below. The 8 sided window, known as a "Lantern" allows a large amount of light into the room and into the Chapel below. The glass is authentic and is believed to be 260 years old.
