Description
"Stone laying of New Church New Year's Day. Arrival of the British Minister and Mrs. Mallet." Crowds gathered in town street. Officials seated in horse and carriage.
The earliest Wesleyan mission began in the West Indies when, in 1786, Thomas Coke, destined for Nova Scotia, was driven off course by a storm and landed at Antigua in the British West Indies. There he developed a successful mission of both slaves and landowners. Within a few years almost every colony in the West Indies had been reached.
