Statue of John Wesley, Bronze statue at St Paul's Cathedral, England
The statue stands at the northwest corner of St Paul's Churchyard, measuring 5 feet 1 inch and depicting Wesley holding a Bible in his left hand.
Established in 1988, the statue draws inspiration from Samuel Manning's original sculpture, which was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1825.
The monument celebrates John Wesley's role as the founder of Methodism through inscriptions detailing his contributions as a priest, poet, and religious teacher.
Visitors can find the statue near the main entrance of St Paul's Cathedral, alongside other monuments in this section of the City of London.
The statue maintains historical accuracy by matching Wesley's actual height and portraying him in period-appropriate religious attire, including a cassock and cravat.
