Yes and it was quite an experience visiting the Wesley House with some of my family last year. The tour of the house is really interesting and some of the antiques took my fancy. Quite a family history.
Best wishes, Mike.

Dear Mike,

Glad you enjoyed the antiques at the rectory.
It was my pleasure as an antique restorer to repair many of them a number of years ago. In particular, the chair which was Samuel Wesley's, his father. This was in terrible condition so I took it completely apart and restored it so that visitors could sit in it.I don'tknow if they are allowed to now

Did you meet "Geoffrey" the ghost at Wesley's house?

No, I didn't encounter "Geoffrey" when I was there, T.A.
       but I did add something to the history of the rectory.
       Did they tell you the story of the wardrobe which was
       in Geoffreys room and purported to have belonged to
       Samuel Wesley?. This was a myth and I proved it to them.
       I'll tell you the story when next I see you.
