The other day I had just stopped for a quick coffee (ok, and a cake…) and was dashing to a meeting near Old Street Station when I stumbled across these blue triplets. They belong to the former Whitefield’s Tabernacle (also known as Moorfields Tabernacle) on the corner of Tabernacle Street and Leonard Street. A spot of research reveals that the first church on this site was a wooden building erected by followers of the evangelical preacher George Whitefield in 1741. This was replaced by a brick building in 1753. John Wesley preached a sermon here entitled “On the death of the Rev Mr George Whitefield”. The church was rebuilt in stone and in Gothic style over a century later in 1868. The foundation stone of the 1868 building reads: “Near this spot stood the Tabernacle built by the Rev. George Whitefield in 1753: 115 years afterward it was taken down and in its place this building was erected.”

The doors are so unique. As it is said, you never know what goes on behind blue, closed doors.

Nice blue color on the doors. The church has quite a history. It seems even the stone building cannot resist the march of time, but faith and worship continues.
