Oak, fabric

This oak country rocking chair was probably made in Wales. It is a piece of 'Wesleyana', with an association to John Wesley.

By family tradition, Wesley visited the cottage of the owners of this chair and sat in it, after which it was passed down in the family. Later, it was presented to the museum and is now on display in John Wesley's House.

The photograph shows it in about 1950.
