Previous attempts to convert and preach to the residents had been unsuccessful. Not only did Fletcher preach, but she nursed the sick, met Methodist classes, and held Methodist meetings. She and Fletcher worked to run a school in Madeley, teaching religion, reading and writing. The marriage was short, however, as Fletcher died on 14 August 1785.

The move from The Cedars to Cross Hall was made to decrease costs, as the women were to grow their own food, to give the children a more pleasant environment, and hopefully to improve Ryan's failing health. However, these ends were not accomplished. Fletcher and the other women had little to no experience of farm life, and growing their own food proved less than successful.

Morrow that Wesley only allowed women to preach because they were successful in converting people. He did not have a change of heart, and did not allow women to preach in order to make any sort of statement, only as a technique for expanding his denomination.

Fletcher and Mary Bosanquet first met in 1756 or 1757 at The Foundery. Fletcher was a Swiss-born clergyman who assisted John Wesley. At this time he considered proposing to Miss Bosanquet but decided against it, thinking she was too rich to accept and it would be better if he devoted himself to

Fletcher had something of a change of heart over her wealth in 1763; she decided to accept it, but use it for charitable purposes. On 24 March 1763, Fletcher and Sarah Ryan moved to one of the
Fletcher family's properties, nicknamed The Cedars, in Leytonstone. She and Ryan felt they were called upon

In 1785, Wesley attempted to persuade
Fletcher to leave Madeley for a ministry with the Methodists in London. She refused, believing she was called to carry on her late husband's work in the parish. Fletcher continued to exercise some control over the local church hierarchy. Her husband's successor

While
Fletcher was daring and defensive when it came to her preaching, she was not entirely confident in it. In many of her diary entries and letters she expressed anxiety about leading worship. Fletcher was only able to continue with her work due to the support of her friends and fellow preachers.

While living and working at The Cedars, Fletcher, with Sarah Crosby, began to hold
Methodist meetings at night. In the summer of 1771, Fletcher wrote to John Wesley to defend their work, now continuing at Cross Hall. This is seen as the first full and true defence of women's preaching in Methodism.

By 1760, tensions between
Fletcher and her family had become pronounced. Fletcher rejected a marriage proposal from a rich young man, which angered her parents. Instead, she told them, she wanted to devote her life to serving God. This, along with her rejection of wealth and her parents' fear that

In February 1773, Fletcher went against Wesley's protocol for women preachers by referencing a text in her sermon. Though Wesley had supported women preaching in public after Fletcher's letter in 1771, he was still hesitant about allowing women to preach in the same ways as men. However, Wesley
