Wesleyanism, or Wesleyan Methodism, is the doctrine of the Methodist Church established by John Wesley (1703-1790) who preached in Wales between 1739 and 1790. Wesleyan Methodism in Wales served both English- and Welsh-speaking communities, with parallel organisations (individual chapels linked to form Circuits, which were part of Districts). The Brynmawr and Ebbw Vale Circuits are part of the South Wales District. The Ebbw Vale Circuit became the Ebbw Vale and Tredegar Circuit in 1983.
