Our living history Volunteers have made such a huge difference to visits at Epworth Old Rectory. From demonstrating handicrafts such as needlepoint, knitting, lacemaking and drop spinning to making soap balls and historic cookery for our visitors.
We would welcome anyone else who’d like to join us - historic costumes and all resources are provided and we especially welcome anyone who’d like to bring a new skill to share or join in with one we’ve already researched. Contact Ami on [email protected] to chat
