Summary

Wesleyan Methodist Chapel 1838 in Hindley Street was the first to be built in Adelaide. This was situated on Acre 48 close to the western boundary of the Acre, but about 20 to 30 yards back from Hindley Street. Copied from a sketch reproduced in the Christian Weekly and Methodist Journal, 11 May 1900. The first Methodist minister, Reverend William Longbottom and his family were shipwrecked on the Coorong en route from Hobart. It took the family 8 weeks to reach Adelaide. The foundation stone for the new church was laid in 1837 and the first service was held before the roof was erected.
