Had a very interesting and thought provoking visit to the Old Rectory today. I paid £8 for over an hour 1:1 house tour with the delightful and extremely knowledgeable Keith. Not only did he have great knowledge regarding the Wesley family but also the history of the very fertile land around Epworth. Worth every penny.

We really enjoyed our trip to Epworth today 😀 The Rectory of the Wesley Family was good, informative & quite child friendly too. The staff were super friendly & helpful.
The kids enjoyed the tour, asked questions & even got to do some crafts at the end. Then we walked round the village, stopped at a nice tearoom for a treat & then visited the beautiful St Andrews Church ⛪️ Where Samuel Wesley was the Rector & where he was buried. We took our dog along so had a good walk round too. 🐾 All in all a good little day out. 👍
