Epworth Old Rectory, Independent museum and Grade I listed building in Epworth, Great Britain.
The Queen Anne style rectory displays restored brick architecture with period-accurate external features and gardens representing 18th-century design principles.
Built in 1709 after a fire destroyed the original wooden structure, the rectory served as home to Reverend Samuel Wesley, his wife Susanna, and their 19 children.
The Methodist Church of Great Britain maintains this museum dedicated to John Wesley, who spent his childhood years within these walls before founding Methodism.
Located at 1 Rectory Street in Epworth, the museum charges £7.50 for adult admission and includes wheelchair accessibility throughout the building.
From December 1716 to January 1717, the residence experienced documented paranormal activities, with mysterious noises attributed to a spirit named Old Jeffrey.
