Wood, paper
c. 1880
This very early wooden collecting box was used in the work of the Wesleyan Missionary Society.
In the late 1800s and the early 1900s, the Wesleyan Missionary Society (also known as English Wesleyan Mission) was a British Methodist missionary society that was involved in sending workers overseas to places such as Africa, New Zealand and China. Monies collected by church members outside of church assisted the endeavours of the society.
