1700s

This large trunk dates to the 1700s and would have been used when travelling by coach. Judging by its size and good condition, the trunk was probably used for travel by private (not mail) coach.

Although the trunk has been in John Wesley's House for many years, we have no documentary evidence that it belonged to John or indeed the Wesley family.
