Epworth Old Rectory

Though not geographically within the Doncaster Circuit, Epworth is only a few miles to the east, and is the birth place of both John and Charles Wesley who, with others, were both greatly involved in the founding of Methodism.  The Old Rectory, their childhood home, is now a museum, and along with St Andrew's Church (where their father Revd Samuel Wesley was Rector), Wesley Memorial Church and a new Statue of John Wesley are a centre for pilgrimage, especially by American Methodists.
