Primitive Methodist Magazine

The Primitive Methodist Magazine was the monthly magazine of the Primitive Methodist Church in Britain, spanning just over a century. From 1820, the Magazine was edited by Hugh Bourne,[1] who printed the magazine at Bemersley Farm about 2 miles from Mow Cop. Production was moved to London in 1843 when John Flesher became the Editor.[2] One of the more famous editors was H B Kendall,[3] the writer of three major histories of Primitive Methodism.

The Magazine was initially produced as a paper cover booklet. These were later bound in annual volumes, of which the Englesea Brook Museum of Primitive Methodism has a complete set. Hugh Bourne's printing press is also amongst the exhibits at the Museum.
