The rebuilt rectory from 1709, the earlier building having been destroyed by fire, possibly an arson attack. Samuel Wesley brought up his family here, including sons John, Charles and Samuel. All become priests in the Church of England and it wasn't until after their death that the Methodist movement emerrged from their teaching - especially the open air preaching of Charles and John, both of whom were prolific writers of hymns.
