Photograph of the marble memorial of the the Rev. John Rattenbury (1806-1879) at Wesley's Chapel. Rattenbury joined the Wesleyan Methodist Society in Manchester at the age of sixteen, soon becoming a local preacher and later a minister. He was elected President of the Conference in 1861.

Perhaps his greatest achievement lay in the foundation of a whole dynasty of Methodist ministers, including his sons and grandsons.
