Located at one Rectory Street DN9 1HX, this rectory is a Queen Anne style building, having been rebuilt after a fire in 1709 and subsequently restored. It was the home of the Rev Samuel Wesley, his wife Susanna and their nineteen children, one of whom John Wesley, grew up to be a founder of the Methodist Church. In 1954, it was purchased by the British Methodist Church, who maintain it as a museum and is open to the public to look round it from March to October.
