Notes about the Church	Early Methodist meetings in Wolverhampton were held in a room behind the Noah's Ark Inn. In 1787 a new chapel was built in Wheeler's Fold and was opened by John Wesley. In 1824 the foundation stone of a new and bigger chapel was laid on this site in the then newly created Darlington Street.
