1 Pound Wesleyan Methodist Country Chapels Bank

The Wesleyan Methodist Country Chapels Bank was one of several small private banks operating in Jersey during the first half of the nineteenth century, where the absence of a central banking authority allowed religious and merchant institutions alike to issue their own notes. That a Methodist chapel organization held banking functions is less surprising in context than it sounds — Wesleyan congregations in the British Isles frequently managed communal finances, and the Channel Islands' peculiar constitutional position outside the Bank of England's jurisdiction made such arrangements legally workable.

The JN#13 designation places this within the Jersey Notes reference corpus. The 1835–1850 window is broad enough to suggest no precise issue date has been confirmed from surviving specimens.
