GB Christmas Minisheet to commemorate Charles Wesley

The Royal Mail will be issuing a miniature sheet version of its Christmas stamps on 6 November 2007. This sheet will commemorate the great Methodist hymn writer Charles Wesley who was born 300 years ago in 1707. Charles was, of course, the author of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing", an ever-popular carol for stamp designers!
