1703 1791 Birthplace Lincolnshire Nonconformist Places Preacher Shrubs Wesley Epworth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the humble beginnings of John Wesley, the renowned Nonconformist preacher, at his birthplace and family home in Epworth, Lincolnshire. Dated between 1703 and 1791, the image showcases the large, timber-framed building where Wesley was born and grew up. Nestled amidst lush greenery, the house is surrounded by a beautiful garden, filled with vibrant shrubs and blooming flowers. John Wesley, the second oldest of nineteen children, was born on June 17, 1703, in this modest dwelling. His upbringing in Epworth, a small market town, played a significant role in shaping his future as a religious leader. The print depicts a lady, perhaps a member of the Wesley family, standing in the garden with her dog, adding a touch of warmth and familiarity to the scene. Wesley's influential career began when he experienced a spiritual awakening in 1738, leading him to become a leading figure in the Methodist movement. His teachings emphasized personal salvation through faith and good works, which resonated deeply with the people of his time. The print serves as a poignant reminder of the simple origins of this remarkable man, who went on to transform the religious landscape of England and beyond.
