England & Wales

Historical Sites Visited

London

Historic London LDS Church sites including Hyde Park Chapel which served as Church headquarters for many years; King’s Square where the early apostles first preached in London; Ironmonger Row, the missionaries’ first lodgings; and Stationer’s Hall, where the King James Bible was first read aloud during its final revisions; also where England Book of Mormon copyright was obtained (learn of the great significance of this copyright and the protection it gave for maintaining the integrity of the Book of Mormon).

Enjoy world-famous London with two & a half days of free time to use as you wish all around London for iconic sites, day-tours, theatre, a Thames river-boat cruise --the city is yours! You could also enjoy literary sites of Sherlock Holmes Museum, Shakespeare’s Globe, Keats House, Poet’s Corner in Westminster Abbey – Chaucer, Clay, Dickens, Hardy, Kipling, etc., Charles Dickens Museum, or Platform 9 ¾ in King’s Cross Station.

Liverpool

Very prominent place for John Taylor‘s work, the headquarters for all printing and for the church for 59 years, and home of the docks where the Apostles arrived in England and early convert Saints sailed for Zion. If your ancestors emigrated from Liverpool or served a British mission in the 1800s, they certainly spent some time in Liverpool! 

Milnthorpe and Lancashire

Enjoy Milnthorpe, the birthplace of John Taylor plus this is a special Bible Translator site; stand on holy ground at Downham and Chatburn and retrace the steps of Heber C. Kimball. Come to understand more about the great missionary successes at Clitheroe, Waddington, and Walker Fold. This area is near where the Bronte sisters lived (Jane Eyre/Wuthering Heights).

Benbow Farm Pond

The legendary Castle Frome and Benbow (Hill) Farm where hundreds entered into the fold! See the very same pond where baptisms were performed by these early missionaries. Lovely setting on lush, green hillsides (filled with beautiful sheep happily grazing, nearby!). 

Southern Wales

Explore Merthyr Tydfil (the birthplace of David O. McKay’s mother and an enormously successful mission area for missionary Captain Dan Jones) plus Rhymney and Dowlais as we teach of the great number of converts amidst anti-Mormon trouble that occurred there.

Continue to Cardiff to explore St Fagans National History incredible open-air museum showcasing Welsh livelihood throughout history. See a woolen mill, flour mill, farms, churches, courts, various homes through the ages; see St Fagans castle grounds, and more! This spectacular walk-about museum was awarded the United Kingdom’s 2019 Museum of the Year!
