Philip See also:Doddridge and A. M. See also:Toplady were among her See also:friends. In 1748 she gave Whitefield a See also:scarf as her See also:chaplain, and in that capacity he frequently preached in her London See also:house in See also:Park See also:Street to audiences that included See also:Chesterfield, See also:Walpole and See also:Bolingbroke. In her See also:chapel at See also:Bath there was a curtained See also:recess dubbed " Nicodemus's corner " where some of the bishops sat incognito to hear him. See also:Lady Huntingdon spent her ample means in See also:building chapels in different parts of See also:England, e.g. at See also:Brighton (1761), London and Bath (1765), Tunbridge See also:Wells (1769), and appointed ministers to officiate in them, under the impression that as a peeress she had a right to employ as many chaplains as she pleased. It is said that she expended £100,000 in the cause of See also:religion. In 1768 she converted the old mansion of Trevecca, near See also:Talgarth, in See also:South See also:Wales, into a theological See also:seminary for See also:young ministers for the connexion.

Till her death in London on the 17th of See also:June 1791, Lady Huntingdon continued to exercise an active, and even autocratic, superintendence over , her chapels and chaplains.

The connexion in 1910 consisted of 44 churches and mission stations, with a See also:roll of about 2400 communicants under 26 ordained pastors. The See also:government is vested by the See also:trust See also:deed, sanctioned by the court of See also:Chancery on the 1st of See also:January 1899, in nine trustees assisted by a conference of delegates from each church in the trust. The endowments of the trust produce ±,1500 per annum, and are devoted to four purposes: grants in aid of the See also:ministry; annuities to ministers aver sixty years of See also:age who have given more than twenty years' continuous service in the connexion, or to their widows; grants for the See also:maintenance and See also:extension of the existing buildings belonging to the trust ; grants to assist in purchasing chapels and chapel sites.
