[@pilgrimsandprophets]

Thanks for this Darren.

On Wesley’s birthday, this has been a real treat. Thank you.

[@pilgrimsandprophets]

Thanks, it was a joy making it. Hopefully you will be able to visit one day.

I always watch your videos at least twice, because they are so interesting and entertaining. Thank you greatly, for I have never visited this area, and your work has prompted me to go and feel the spiritual essence. Peace be unto you.

[@pilgrimsandprophets]

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement! There is lots of Christian spiritual heritage in this area so worth a visit. Next up will be origins of the baptists....

Thank you! Thoroughly enjoyed this video, Adrian! (Of course we lived in Epworth for 20 years [13 a few hundred yards from the Rectory!] and hold it very dear still)

[@pilgrimsandprophets]

Glad to be of assistance!

Thanks very much Adrian - really enjoyed watching your video

It is good to know that you found it enjoyable, Gary. The next one will feature the story of Marnham....not so many people know about that!
