Methodist meeting houses were sometimes multi-purpose, with libraries, soup kitchens, dispensaries: whatever was needed by the local community
This engraving shows the Orphan House in Newcastle-upon-Tyne was also used for preaching in its early days and was at one time run by Grace Murray, said to have been John Wesley's true love. The Orphan House was demolished in 1951.
