200 Years Later (Camp Meeting 2007)
Sunday 27th May 2007 will go down for
many as day to remember. Not detered by the damp condition 100's of worshipers
from accross the country and from accross the Atlantic flocked to the hillside
of Mow Cop to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the first camp meeting.

the turnout of 1907 it was still a great success. The people gathered sang
the same hymns that thier predecessors sang 200 years ago and were accompanied
by the National British Methodist Band of the North Shropshire and Cheshire
Methodist Church Choir.

500-1,000 people spread all over the hill, many around the castle itself looking
down upon the service, but there was also a lot of people looking up from
the castle car park, from a more level ground. Many had walked to the site,
some even taking up to four days, walking the hills that

other local places, where cars could be parked, Mow Cop's "Park and Ride"
service. USB TV was there, "United Christian Broadcast" from
