Epworth Old Rectory

1 Rectory Street
Epworth
North Lincolnshire

Samuel Wesley built the house in 1709 after fire had destroyed the earlier building from which John was rescued as 'a brand plucked from the burning'.

Susanna Wesley held her famous Sunday evening meetings in the kitchen when Samuel was away in London.

In this house John and Charles grew up as boys. The Wesley Memorial Methodist Church was built as a memorial to the Wesley brothers in 1888-89.
