Photograph
c.1900
One of the earliest photographs of Wesley's Study. Various objects and furniture - at the time usually referred to as the 'relics' - are on show throughout the room. Wesley's bookcase houses a collection of ceramics, and there is another display case in the middle of the Study.
To the left of the bookcase, and very prominent in this picture, is Susanna Wesley's tombstone. Susanna's tombstone in Bunhill Fields (opposite the Chapel) was replaced a number of times over the years as the stone and wording began to disintegrate. This was the original grave marker.
Compare also to various other views of Wesley's Study in the Online Collection to see how the layout and displays of the room have changed over time.
