The home of renowned hymn-writer Charles Wesley, who penned some of the great Christian anthems including Christ the Lord Is Risen Today, O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing, and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, is opening to the public.

The 18th-century home of the Methodist leader at 4 Charles Street, Bristol will be open to visitors for a ticket price of £8.

Wesley wrote more than 6,000 compositions over the course of his life and, with his brother John, initiated the Methodist movement in the Church of England. He died in 1788.
