Hello,

can you give me some more information about the stamp
with the portrets of John and Charles Wesley? (50c)
Is it taken after from a stained glass window?

That's actually one of the easier ones to identify. It's part of a stained glass window at the Wesley Memorial Church in the Wesleys' home town of Epworth. See www.wesley-memorial.co.uk/
The biggest mystery in this set is what exactly the 15c is supposed to represent.
