PRINTS - LANDSCAPES HALIFAX & CALDERDALE AD120 AD129 AD135 AD136 AD140   AD129 - Mount Zion, Halifax The original Mount Zion Chapel and adjoining cottage was built in 1773. John Wesley preached here on 22nd April 1774 and stayed in the cottage, returning again in May 1790 on his last visit to Halifax. The chapel was demolished and rebuilt in 1815, but the original cottage remains, together with the sundial on the front of the chapel. My grandfather was sexton of this chapel during the 1960’s, and my father enjoys telling us the story of a ghost lady in the graveyard - which turned out to be the shadow cast by an oil-lamp!
