Rh has stood opposite the City Road Chapel, fronting Bunhill Fields, since December 1870, bearing a very similar inscription to the one last given.

This little life of Susanna Wesley can hardly be better concluded than in the words of the late Isaac Taylor, himself the son of a mother who, with her husband's assistance, educated the whole of her very large family, and had the satisfaction of seeing them grow up to be among the most cultivated and pious persons of their own or any other generation of English men and women: "The Wesleys' mother was the mother of Methodism in a religious and moral sense ; for, her courage, her submissiveness to authority, the high tone of her mind, its independence, and its self- control, the warmth of her devotional feelings and the practical direction given to them, came up and were visibly repeated in the character and conduct of her sons."
