Take a look inside



I had a few comments about the 'Bobbing for Apples' shop front I photographed for the scavenger hunt, saying how you would like to look round it.   
Just for you, I asked the owner if I could take some photos of the interior and here they are -










and upstairs



Bobbing for Apples can be found in the small town of Epworth, a couple of miles from where I live.  
It is the birth place of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism.  His father was the Rector of Epworth and the Old Rectory is now a museum






This statue was erected in 2003 to mark the 300th anniversary of John's birth





This is the Wesley Memorial Methodist Church which was built in 1882 in memory of John and his brother Charles.

    Love the polka dots...but now I'm more interested in the Wesley museum. Seeing the homes and birthplaces of historical figures is a passion of ours, (we're nice, just a little nerdy!).

    That was so lovely of them to let you photograph the interior. It was quite a visual treat. Interesting information too about the area.

    I like shops like these, sadly I find myself being dragged out by a rather impatient husband :)
