I have for some time now wanted to gather together some history\/hearsay etc. about the way in which Wolverhampton&#8217;s Methodist Churches came to be sited where they are today and to record the places where now defunct churches once stood. I was finally spurred into beginning the project when some old material which cried out to be preserved turned up at Stratton Street church, I have no idea when it will be finished. This page will grow as new material becomes available and I find the time to type it in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If any reader has relevant information then&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:m.jackson@computer.org\">please mail me<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This site focuses on the&nbsp;<em>history<\/em>&nbsp;of Methodist Churches in Wolverhampton.
