A grade I listed building mostly 14th & 15th century but incorporating a 12th century name from an earlier building. Many restorations have taken place over the centuries, the most recent 2012-2014 when evidence of a Saxon church was found as the floor was being prepared for under floor heating. Samuel Wesley was Rector from 1695 to 1735 and his sons John and Charles were born and brought up in Epworth. It is seen as the birthplace of Methodism.

On the edge of what was once a small village this surprisingly large and breath-taking grade 1 church, is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Early English style largely dating from 13th century with 14th and 16th century aisles, the 14th century tower houses a ring of six bells dating from 1710 to 2002, which are rung regularly. A warm welcome awaits those who come to experience the incredible craftsmanship of our ancestors with some fascinating features. Enjoy light refreshments which will be available throughout.

Laughton Methodist Church

Laughton Methodist Chapel

Dating from 1826, the chapel was used as a Sunday School until 1969. The second chapel adjacent to the first dates from 1927. A new Sunday School was added in 1975. The Primitive Methodist magazine of 1859 records an account by A Worsnop of the re-opening of the chapel after enlargement. 

This was necessary because of a revival in the winter of 1857-8 and consent was obtained from WM Ingram Esq. On the north wall inside Laughton Methodist church is a white stone tablet with incised gold lettering commemorating a single World War 2 casualty.
