A group of Methodist missionaries from Britain,
first came to Ceylon in the year 1814 arriving on the 29th June
which date is observed every year by the Methodist Church in our
country as Methodist Day. After they arrived, they learnt that there
was also a need to establish English Schools in the country. Rev.
James Lynch and Rev. Thomas Squance, two of the original group of
six missionaries travelled to Jaffna to start their mission there.
They first mixed freely with the local people and started learning
the local language and getting acquainted with the local customs.
