Following the American Revolution most of the Anglican clergy who had been in America came back to England.  John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, sent Thomas Coke to America where he and Francis Asbury founded the Methodist Episcopal Church, which was to later establish itself as the largest denomination in America during the 19th Century.

  Title: Zeba Indian United Methodist Church
  Passage: The Zeba Indian United Methodist Church is a religious building located at 227 Front Street (between Whirl-I-Gig and Peter Marksman Roads) in Zeba, Michigan, northeast of L'Anse.  It marks the site of the Kewawenon Mission, built in 1832, which was the birthplace of Indian Methodism in the western Upper Peninsula, and predated Frederic Baraga's mission at Assinins by 11 years.

  Title: Manchester and Salford Wesleyan Methodist Mission
  Passage: The Manchester and Salford Wesleyan Methodist Mission was set up in 1886 in Greater Manchester, North West England.  The Central Hall building on Oldham Street became the head office for the mission.  Before Central Hall was built, there was a previous chapel (called the Oldham Street Chapel), which was opened by John Wesley in 1781.  John Wesley and his brother Charles Wesley were the founders of Methodism in England in 1729; the Manchester and Salford Wesleyan mission was named after them, as were many other missions (and missionaries).  There were “numerous and flourishing voluntary societies to combat vice, and religious societies to enlighten the faithful”; the society set up by the Wesley brothers in Oxford in 1729 was “to prove that the decline of the religious spirit had been exaggerated”.  When the chapel in Oldham Street was demolished, it was replaced by the Methodist Central Hall (which housed the Manchester and Salford Wesleyan Mission).
  Title: West London Methodist Mission
  Passage: The West London Methodist Mission was established in 1887 under the leadership of Hugh Price Hughes, a leading voice in Methodism and in Non-Conformity, and has a long track record as a Methodist ministry and as a spiritual home for "good works".  Its early days are very much associated with its founder, Price Hughes, a strong supporter of the Temperance Movement.  The mission has been instrumental in teaching Methodism, and providing a spiritual and physical base from which such notable Methodists as Lord Soper worked.  At its founding it was associated with suffragettes and suffragists, and gave them encouragement and active assistance.
  Title: Martha Thompson
  Passage: Martha Thompson (1731–1820) was an English Methodist.  She was a housemaid in London, and was converted to Methodism after hearing John Wesley preach in Moorfields.  Thompson was declared insane and sent to Bedlam, but Wesley later freed her and rode with her back to her hometown of Preston.  There she became a founder of Methodism in the region.
  Title: Henry Ince

As a result of his work, by the end of the 18th century Gibraltar had almost 4000 ft of tunnels in which dozens of cannons were mounted overlooking the isthmus linking the peninsula to Spain.  He was one of the first members of the Soldier Artificer Company, a predecessor to today's Royal Engineers, and rose to be the Company's senior non-commissioned officer.
