Mow Cop, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, UK, EuropeMore information:
Mow Cop is noteworthy as the birthplace of the Primitive Methodist movement. Starting in 1800 Hugh Bourne from Stoke-on-Trent and William Clowes from Burslem began holding open air prayer meetings. On 31st May, 1807 a large 14-hour camp meeting was held and as a result the Primitive Methodist Church was formed in 1810. These camp meetings became a regular feature at Mow Cop and camps were also held to celebrate the 100th and 150th anniversaries of the first camp.
