The Story of John Wesley, Told to Boys and Girls
Kirlew, Marianne
Wesley, John, 1703-1791 -- Juvenile literature
In Westminster Abbey, too, you will see a marble tablet erected to his
memory, and that of his brother Charles. Though churches shut their
doors to him in life, his memory is now so lovingly respected, that the
finest Cathedral in England has sought to do him honour.
In one of the topmost rooms in the tower at Kingswood School, John
Wesley's bedstead has recently been discovered. Merely a collection of
poles and a piece of old sacking, it lay there many a long year, only
seen by the man who went up the tower to wind the clock. Now it is put
together, and set in a place of honour; and any of us may see the bed on
which John Wesley slept, when he visited the boys and girls at
Kingswood.
Here, too, we may see his chairs and books, and a gown, now torn, which
he used to wear. The Governor of New Kingswood still sits in the
high-backed oak chair in which John Wesley sat; and grafted on several
of the trees in the orchard, are shoots from the very pear tree which
was planted in the garden of Old Kingswood by the Founder of Methodism.
