Lock of Hair
1800-1850 / Cardboard / John Wesley / Object / Organic / Other / Wesleyana
Hair, paper; wood, cardboard glass (frame)
early 1800s
A mounted and framed strand of hair, likely John Wesley's. According to the card on which it is mounted, the hair was found among the possessions of 'Miss Tooth'. It is likely she was the daughter of Samuel Tooth, the man John Wesley engaged to build his chapel on City Road, and who was later a very active member of the congregation there.
