Items brought forward in a Litany of Thanksgiving at the final service at Cowley Road @MethodistGB Church #Oxford this afternoon and also something to take away: hymn numbers with hymns on the reverse. What a brilliant idea!
Watch the 👀 this #OxfordOpenDoors as you explore Oxford Methodism past and present in the new atrium at Wesley Memorial Church. Open all day Saturday, New Inn Hall Street
The original font @OxfordWesley was a miniature Minton ceramic copy of the font @marymagsoxford . When it was replaced by a floor standing font in 1963 it was transferred to another @MethodistGB church in #Oxford#FontsOnFriday
For the second time in a month I find myself holding a tiny #serpentine font this time at the #Methodist#Heritage centre in Wighton, Norfolk. The font came from the North Walsham area. #FontsOnFriday
Great ‘field trip’ today to visit the East Anglia #Methodist Heritage Centre at Wighton, North Norfolk. Super displays, interesting objects, friendly welcome plus coffee and biscuits!
It was a poignant pleasure to visit the exhibition of Jim Godfrey’s art work @ChChCathedralOx today. Such talent, humour and eye for detail. A very special person. Sorely missed by us all.
Named after a Wesleyan cotton manufacturer and a Primitive Methodist jam manufacturer, this annual #Methodist lecture will be given @OxfordWesley this evening. Looking forward to being challenged by this message.
Super excited to have seen and handled this tiny #serpentine font @morethanadodo this morning. Only about 16cm tall it’s possible that it was an apprentice piece but equally could have been used as a travelling #font for home baptisms or was made as a souvenir. #FontsOnFriday
