299<div class="page-content"><p><span style="color:#b52129;"><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><strong>The Wesleyan period</strong></span></span></span></p>
300
301<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><img alt="" src="/content/pages/uploaded_images/12.jpg" style="width: 150px; height: 104px; float: left; margin: 0px 5px;" />Methodists began worshipping in Barnet around 1760.&nbsp; The Shewell family who lived at the Beacon House, next to St Mary&rsquo;s Church in Monken Hadley, were Methodists and great friends of John Wesley.&nbsp; They allowed the Methodists to worship in a cottage at Hadley which they gave to the Methodist Society in 1770.&nbsp; The original deed remains in the possession of the local church.</span></span></p>
302
303<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">John Wesley would have been a frequent visitor to Barnet and Hadley but as his diary is missing until 1783 there is no record of his visits until his entry in his published <em>Journal </em>in November/December 1769:</span></span></p>
304
305<p>&nbsp;</p>
306
307<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><em>Thur. 30. I preached at Wandsworth.&nbsp; For many years, the people here were the most dead but are now the most active of any about London.&nbsp; Friday, December the 1<sup>st</sup>,&nbsp;I preached at Barnet, which was last year what Wandsworth is now.</em></span></span></p>
308
309<p>&nbsp;</p>
310
311<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">In November 1771 John came to Barnet to take the funeral of John Shewell (1705-71).&nbsp; He wrote:</span></span></p>
312
313<p>&nbsp;</p>
314
315<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><em>I went over to Barnet and paid my last debt to that excellent man, Mr John Shewell, by preaching his funeral sermon from, &lsquo;It is appointed unto men once to die.&rsquo; &nbsp;All the time that I knew him, he was a pattern of seriousness, piety, patience, and beneficience.</em></span></span></p>
316
317<p>&nbsp;</p>
318
319<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">Some years later in October 1786 John raced across country to get to Elizabeth Shewell&rsquo;s funeral.&nbsp; He wrote:</span></span></p>
320
321<p>&nbsp;</p>
322
323<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><em>
323We did not reach Hoddesdon till after sunset. &nbsp;I then took a post-chaise, for the Dilgence went the other road.&nbsp; But as we had a rough by-road across the country&nbsp;without either moon or stars, we could not reach the chapel till half an hour after seven.&nbsp; About half the congregation were gone away, an officious man having informed them I would not come.&nbsp; With the other half, which pretty well filled the house, we had a solemn opportunity.</em></span></span></p>
324
325<p>&nbsp;</p>
326
327<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">He went on to say:</span></span></p>
328
329<p>&nbsp;</p>
330
331<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><em>So I have lived to see the large family at Hadley, two brothers and three sisters, all&nbsp; removed.&nbsp; So does &lsquo;the earth drop its inhabitants, as the tree its leaves&rsquo;.</em></span></span></p>
332
333<p>&nbsp;</p>
334
335<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">The family tomb of the Shewells is in the churchyard next to Beacon House.&nbsp;In her will Elizabeth Shewell left &pound;350 for the benefit of the Methodists of Barnet. The interest on this bequest is still paid to the circuit.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
336
337<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">Back in 1772 John Wesley recorded in his Journal:</span></span></p>
338
339<p>&nbsp;</p>
340
341<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><em>I went to Barnet and found a large congregation, though it was a rainy and dark evening.</em></span></span></p>
342
343<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">Five years later, in December 1777, he wrote:</span></span></p>
344
345<p>&nbsp;</p>
346
347<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><em>I visited the chief societies in Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire, and returned by Hertford, where (for once) I saw a quiet and serious congregation.&nbsp; We had a larger congregation&nbsp;at Barnet in the evening than ever, and a greater number of communicants. Will this poor, barren wilderness at length blossom and bud as the rose?</em></span></span></p>
348
349<p>&nbsp;</p>
350
351<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">The Journal was written for publication (indeed some parts were prepared for&nbsp;publication while he was staying in Hadley) but his diaries were not.&nbsp;
351 These exist only from 1783 but from then on there are frequent detailed references to his stays, usually on his way back from a trip to the north.</span></span></p>
352
353<p>&nbsp;</p>
354
355<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">On Friday, 30<sup>th</sup> May 1783 he records that he stopped for lunch in Barnet and shared it with his brother Charles.&nbsp; It is likely that they would have met at the Red Lion at the top of Barnet Hill.&nbsp; The Wesleys were Tories and the Red Lion was the Tory hostelry in the town.&nbsp; It was later pulled down and rebuilt.&nbsp; This was at a&nbsp;difficult time in the relationship between the brothers.&nbsp; We can only imagine what they had to say to each other.</span></span></p>
356
357<p>&nbsp;</p>
358
359<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">A typical diary entry, for Friday, 7<sup>th</sup> January 1785 reads:</span></span></p>
360
361<p>&nbsp;</p>
362
363<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><em>3 Chaise.&nbsp; 5 Hadley; tea, religious talk.&nbsp; 6 Luke 20;34!&nbsp; Communion; supper, religious talk; prayer.&nbsp; 9.30 Ill.&nbsp; Saturday: 4.30 Prayed;&nbsp; Magazine; tea.&nbsp; 6 Chaise.</em></span></span></p>
364
365<p>&nbsp;</p>
366
367<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">So on this overnight stay Wesley managed two sessions of religious conversation.&nbsp; He preached on the text: &lsquo;And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:&rsquo;&nbsp; (No wonder there was an exclamation mark!)&nbsp; He celebrated Holy Communion before eating his evening meal, but he went to bed at 9.30pm feeling unwell.&nbsp; This did not stop him getting up to pray at 4.30am and writing for the <em>Arminian Magazine </em>before having tea and leaving by chaise at 6am.&nbsp; He was aged 81 at that time.</span></span></p>
368
369<p>&nbsp;</p>
370
371<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">John Leifchild, who was born in Barnet in 1780 and went on to become a famous Congregationalist minister and a founder of the Evangelical Alliance, was the son of John Leifchild, a cooper and a member of the local Wesleyan society.&nbsp;He remembered hearing John Wesley preach in Barnet and later recalled that Wesley &lsquo;drove to our father&rsquo;s house, and when the door of the chaise was opened, he came out in his canonicals.&nbsp; Childlike, I ran to lay hold of him, but my father pulled me back;&nbsp; upon which extending his hand, he said:&nbsp; &ldquo;Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.&rdquo;&rsquo;</span></span></p>
372
373<p>&nbsp;</p>
374
375<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">In October 1786 Wesley recorded in his Journal<em>, I preached at Barnet, probably for the last time </em>but in November 1787, aged 84, he wrote <em>I set out early, and about noon preached at Barnet to a small, serious congregation.&nbsp; </em>His text on this occasion was Hebrews 2:1 (&lsquo;Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.&rsquo;)&nbsp;In February 1788 he visited a surviving member of the Shewell family and in&nbsp;November 1788 he passed through Barnet twice.&nbsp; These were his last recorded visits.</span></span></p>
376
377<p>&nbsp;</p>
378
379<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">John Wesley&rsquo;s name lives on in Wesley Hall, the Methodist community centre in Barnet, and in the parish church of St John the Baptist, Chipping Barnet.&nbsp; This has been substantially rebuilt since Wesley&rsquo;s day but there is an excellent wooden carving of him in the pulpit installed in the late 19<sup>th</sup> century, alongside other great preachers.</span></span></p>
380
381<p>&nbsp;</p>
382
383<p><span style="font-size:Medium;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">A minor Wesley association with the area is that Samuel Wesley, the composer son of Charles Wesley, lived in Ridge, a small village close to Barnet.&nbsp; Samuel, who had converted to Roman Catholicism,&nbsp; lived in an &lsquo;irregular relationship&rsquo; there with Charlotte Martin.&nbsp; Expecting their first child, they finally married and their son Charles was born and baptised at St Margaret&rsquo;s, Ridge on 20<sup>th</sup> October 1793. &nbsp;He went on to become an Anglican priest and royal chaplain.&nbsp; His half-brother, not born locally, was Samuel Sebastian Wesley, the great musician.</span></span></p>
