Inside the Church. The Church sanctuary is open most mornings so do come in to look, rest or pray.

Wesley's foundation stones

Wesley has a great many foundation stones laid when the church was founded in 1897 and when the church building was dedicated in 1903.

Mrs Osborne was the wife of John Osborne of New Road church who provided the land and a large part of the building money. Mrs Beecroft was the wife of a former Mayor of Southend. The two stones above were moved slightly when the entrance was redeveloped in 2003 and can now be found just inside the rear glass doors.

There are even foundation bricks, with the initials of the people who laid them.

"LJG" is probably Leslie John Griffin, as in the stone above. We don't appear to have records of who the remaining people are: if you have any information we'd be pleased to have it.
