Bust of John Wesley, C.19th

3D Model

Bust of John Wesley, C.19th Wesley visited Penzance at least 12 times from 1744 to 1789. Suspected as a Jacobite, he was pelted with mud and stones, cursed at, arrested and imprisoned, but by 1768 he wrote ‘Surely God will have a people even in this place (Penzance), where we have so long seemed only to beat the air’.
