Gateshead Fell - John Wesley

Date: 1761  ·  Place: Gateshead, County Durham  ·  Type: National well


"The same flame was kindled in Gateshead Fell, while I was opening and applying these words, 'Everyone that hath this hope in Him, purifieth himself even as he is pure." Wesley's Journal, 19th May, 1761.

"About three I preached at Gateshead Fell; about 5 at Garth Heads; at each place to a larger congregation than I ever saw there before. What a change is wrought in this whole country! And will it not be wrought in the whole country!" Wesley's Journal, 14th June, 1761.

This was part of the Otley revival. 


I do not know where the meeting took place.
