EPWORTH OLD RECTORY |
|
John and Charles Wesley were
brought up in the handsome rectory, which was built in 1709
and restored in 1957. This Grade I listed Queen Anne
building is maintained by the World Methodist Council as
'The Home of the Wesleys' rather than as a museum. It
displays items which belonged to John and Charles Wesley and
their parents Samuel and Susanna. Some of the rooms are set
out with period furniture much as the family would have
known. Also in the house are paintings and prints concerning
the lives and times of the Wesley family and commemorative
china etc. Parties, catering and accommodation by prior
arrangement. | |
