Small metal bust of George Whitefield (1714-1770), to which a seal was probably once attached. George Whitefield was one of the most famous preachers of the 1700s and was responsible for introducing John Wesley to preaching outdoors.

Whitefield and Wesley were both Methodists but disagreed on some fundamental aspects of doctrine.
