Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, St.John's Hill, Shrewsbury This large and impressive chapel was built in 1879, to the design of G.B.Ford of Burslem. It is in the Italianate style, and built of plain and moulded bricks. The interior contains particularly fine woodwork. The chapel closed c. 2005 & was put up for sale and has since been converted into apartments. This building replaced a chapel which had been built in 1805 on the same site, which had been described by contemporaries as "handsome and spacious". The first Wesleyan Methodist chapel had been built in Hill's Lane in 1781, and was opened by John Wesley himself.
