Site Locator for Register of John Wesley’s Preaching Texts Introduction The list which follows on the next page provides location details for the sites mentioned in the Register of John Wesley’s Preaching Texts. Sites range from cities, to villages, to hamlets, to manor houses. They stretch across England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales; with scattered visits to the Channel Islands and Isle of Man; and Wesley’s single trips to North America and Holland. The general format of the location description is: village, county/shire, nation. For smaller sites, reference indicators of proximity to larger sites are often included. Charing Cross is used as the traditional center for London in such proximity descriptions. For locations in England, Scotland and Wales, the traditional county/shire name is given, both to reflect how Wesley would have known the site and in keeping with preferred historical practice. Sites in England, Scotland and Wales were originally identified using the Bartholomew Gazetteer of Places in Britain, 2d edn. (London: John Bartholomew & Son, Ltd., 1986). This resource has recently been made available in an updated online format. All identifications have been verified in this new resource. Those who wish to know the modern “administrative county” listings for these sites (as used on Mapquest, for example, rather than the traditional county/shire names), can find this information on this online source, which provides both types of information. Gazetteer of British Place Names: http://www.gazetteer.co.uk/ The Gazetteer also references the grid location for each site on the standard Ordnance Survey Maps of Great Britain (Landranger Series, 1:50 000). After each site in England, Scotland, or Wales, we list the number of the OS map that contains the site, and the grid reference. There is another online site where you can now plug in the grid reference and see the section of the map which contains the site Geograph: http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php Neither the Gazetteer nor the Ordnance Survey Maps of Great Britain cover Ireland or the Channel Islands. In these cases, the county names and proximity locators should be sufficient for locating the site on Google Maps, which is the most reliable and accessible online source. Since the division creating Northern Ireland post-dates Wesley, ‘Northern’ is placed in parentheses. Google Maps: http://maps.google.com 1 List of Sites Abbeyderg, Co.
