New exhibition – At Home with the Wesleys 1716

1st April -28th October

10:30am - 3:30pm

Have you ever wondered what life was like for 18th century families? Well look no further! Epworth Old Rectory is excited to announce that we will be launching a brand new exhibition called ‘At Home With the Wesleys 1716’. The exhibition will give a fascinating insight into 18th family life by uncovering hidden stories about how the Wesley family actually lived at the Rectory.

The exhibition will explore first-hand accounts of the Wesley family and showcase everyday objects used by ordinary 18th century people to help us understand what day-to-day life was like for the Wesleys. How different was their life to ours? Were there any similarities? What kind of food did they eat? How did they keep warm in winter? How did they see in the dark? Where did they go to the toilet? These are just some of the questions the exhibition will cover! The exhibition will be launched when we reopen for the season on Saturday 1st April.

Normal admission charges apply.
