History
A small independent chapel had been on the site in Bartholomew Close, next to the church of St Bartholomew the Great, since the reign of Charles II, situated in part of a building called Middlesex House, initially as a Presbyterian congregation. This was dissolved in 1753. It was subsequently used by the Methodists, its earlier ministers being Calvinist. John Wesley preached here in 1763.
