On this day in 1742 Susanna Wesley died. She is buried in Bunhill Fields which is opposite John Wesley's house on City Road, London. The house was not built at the time, but she was living with John at the nearby Foundery (or Foundry) Chapel. Although best known for her influence on her sons, Susanna Wesley was an accomplished writer, teacher and theologian in her own right. She has often been referred to as the 'Mother of Methodism'.
