It has been said that "when John Wesley was carried to his grave, he left behind him a good library of books, a well-worn clergyman's gown" and the Methodist Church.
Dikatakan bahwa "ketika John Wesley diusung ke kuburnya, ia meninggalkan di belakangnya satu perpustakaan yang baik berisikan buku-buku, satu jubah pendeta yang lusuh", dan Gereja Metodis.
