Wesley History

The Wesley Guest House is situated in the rural town of Epworth, North Lincolnshire. Epworth is the main town of the Isle of Axholme, so called, because until its drainage, by the Dutch engineer Vermuyden from 1627 - 1629, it was an inland island surrounded by rivers. Though it is the commercial centre of the area, Epworth's main claim to fame however, is that it was the birthplace of the founder of Methodism, John Wesley, who was born at the Old Rectory in 1703, along with his hymm writing brother Charles who was born in 1908. He returned many times to Epworth, giving sermon's from the Market Cross.

The bustling centre of the town is based around the Market Place, Fountain Court and High Street area. There are many business and shops, including gift and clothes shops, a bank, estate agents, cafes, several public houses, bakers, local newspaper offices, a super market, butchers, florists, beauticians and the Epworth Society's Heritage Centre in the Mechanics Institute building.

The most likely derivation of the name, Epworth, is that it is formed from two Anglo-Saxon words, "Heape" meaning "small hill", or "rising ground" and "urde" meaning, "farm". Therefore the definition means the farm on the hill, which is most appropriate, as the town lies on one of the few hills in the area, much of Isle being only a few meters above sea level, and some of it below. The town is referred to in the Doomsday Book of 1086 ad Epeurde.

Epworth is situated in the county of North Lincolnshire and has many tourist attractions in the region.
