This photo shows the attic in the Old Rectory where produce was stored over the winter and flax was dried. The room was named after the poltergeist who haunted the Rectory in December 1716 and the following January. John Wesley's sisters named the ghost after an itinerant worker, Jeffery, who had worked for the family and died some time before the strange happenings. The display cabinets on the right of the photo contain changing exhibitions including ceramic figures and busts mainly of John Wesley, china from the 18th century and commemorative plates from all over the world.
