Description: | Proof picture from "The Story of Methodism in Totley" Dunstan 1968 The Company invited fifty old men to a dinner in the Cutlers' Hall and presented them with coats & hats. The oldest man present was George Wainwright of Dore (1717-1821) then aged about 92 years, who had been a weaver and Methodist preacher. His portrait was painted by Charles Henry Scwanfelder (1773-1837) a Leeds artist. The public subscription failed to reach its target so the Master Cutler, Richard Brightmore paid the fee of The picture passed by descent to W.G. Mitchell-Withers who gave it to the Company in 1926.
