Wesley was revered greatly by his followers. It is perhaps not surprising, therefore, that Wesley commemorative ware - or Wesleyana - was very popular, even before Wesley passed away. According to the Victorian envelope in which it was kept, this small wooden fragment was taken from Wesley's coffin.
