This is one of the earliest known instances of the Temperance movement and is considered to the one of the beginning events of the movement. John Wesley, whom the chapel is named after, stated that “buying, selling, and drinking of liquor, unless absolutely necessary, were evils to be avoided.”
In 1847, the Band of Hope, a children's temperance organization was founded in the Leeds District, United Kingdom by Ann Jane Carlile and the Reverend Jabez Tunniclif. The Band of Hope grew to become one of the most prominent Temperance organizations and between the years of 1847 to 1926, they amassed a following of three million. This organization is still present to this very day under the name of Hope UK, which still serves to educate children about alcohol and drug use.
