Epworth events will mark 350th Wesley Methodist milestone
Events to mark the 350th birthday of the father of the Wesleys will be taking place in Epworth in December.
Samuel Wesley, the determined Rector of Epworth for nearly 40 years, had a huge influence, particularly on his sons John and Charles Wesley as they developed the Methodist movement.
