‘The Building in our Midst: A brief history of Tolpuddle Old Chapel and the stories it holds’ by Professor Philip Martin (Chair of TOCT).

Philip will describe the Old Chapel’s history and what we know about the people who worshipped there, and its social and religious contexts. What did it mean to be a Methodist in Tolpuddle in the early years of the Chapel’s existence? Why was there such animosity shown towards the Methodists? What were their beliefs and how did their politics stand alongside their religion? These are some of the questions that will be addressed. All welcome, and please register your intention to attend.
