EDITORS COMMENTS
Whitfield's Mount: A Historical Landmark on Blackheath, London, Circa 1850 This evocative photograph captures the essence of Whitfield's Mount, a significant historical site located on Blackheath in London. Named after the renowned Methodist preacher George Whitefield, this protuberance on the Heath was once a prominent feature, drawing large crowds during the 18th century. George Whitefield (1714-1770), an English Anglican cleric and the most famous Methodist evangelist of his time, addressed thousands of people from this very spot. His impassioned sermons, delivered with great fervor and eloquence, inspired spiritual awakening and social reform throughout England and the American colonies. The exact date of this photograph is circa 1850, providing a glimpse into the past when the mount still retained its original form and prominence. Today, although less protuberant, Whitfield's Mount remains an essential part of Blackheath's rich history. It stands as a testament to the enduring influence of George Whitefield and the profound impact of his message on generations of believers and non-believers alike. This photograph offers a unique perspective into England's past, inviting us to reflect on the power of words, the significance of religious movements, and the transformative effect they can have on individuals and communities. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of George Whitefield and the profound impact of his message, which continues to resonate with us today.
