"The Epworth Rectory haunting also known as the "Wesley poltergeist" is one of the best-known English poltergeist claims.

From December 1716 until January 1717, it is said to have been plagued by a series of regularly occurring mysterious loud noises and knockings, apparently caused by a ghost the eldest Wesley daughter Hetty nicknamed "Old Jeffrey", who made his presence known to all on Christmas Day 1716.

In Mrs. Wesley's words, "there was such a noise in the room over our heads, as if several people were walking, then running up and down stairs that we thought the children would be frightened".

According to the tale, as she and her husband searched the house in vain for the culprit, Old Jeffrey continued "rattling and thundering in every room, and even blowing an invisible horn at deafening decibels".

"Old Jeffrey" supposedly disappeared in January 1717 just as suddenly as he had appeared"

Like the church, this vicarage was designed by S S Teulon and built by contractor Benjamin Andrews of Stickford.

It features polychromatic brickwork in red and a darker burnt shade to create diaper shapes. Ashlar stone outlines the window and door openings and forms the support for the oriel window. The roof tiles are a mix of plain and fish scale shapes.

The last vicar to live here was the Revd Robin Worsdale who left in 1973. The house, Grade II listed, was sold into private ownership and renamed Teulon House. The church was then served by the vicar of Sibsey church.
