The Wesleyan Methodists were the second largest denomination after the Church of England,
with 15% of all attendances.
Originally led by John and Charles Wesley, by 1851 they had divided into two main sections,
the Wesleyan Methodist Association and the much larger
Wesleyan Methodist Original Connexion; our figures combine the two.
Their geographical distributions were quite similar, and very different from the Calvinistic Methodists.
Their strongest concentration was in Cornwall, followed by eastern Lancashire, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire
and the north-east, with strength in both urban and rural areas.
