1978
By the early 1970s, Wesley's Chapel had become structurally unsafe and a major building programme was required to ensure the building's survival. This took over four years to complete. The Chapel was re-opened on its 200th anniversary, on 1st November 1978, by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
This photograph shows Her Majesty after the re-opening service, greeting the crowds outside Bunhill Fields graveyard.
