Lynott Tours Inc| METHODIST
TOUR OF ENGLAND Follow in the footsteps of Wesley (1703-1791), a clergyman of the Church of England, and a founder of Methodism. He was the foremost leader in England of the Evangelical Revival, a movement in Protestant Christianity during the 1700's that emphasized personal faith and practical good works. In carrying out his evangelical mission, Wesley traveled about 250,000 miles and preached over 40,000 sermons, often as many as 4 in a day. Other itineraries are available.

unbeatable way to see the sights of London on your own. Museums, galleries, and

flower market made famous in "My Fair Lady" is now a delightful
shopping area with boutiques, unusual shops, intimate bistros and restaurants.

stop at Gloucester, famous for its gothic cathedral. We'll visit the small
church of St. Mary de Crypt where Robert Raikes launched the "Sunday
School" movement and an early women's missionary movement had its
beginnings. It was also from here that George Whitefield, the most outstanding
preacher of his generation, lit the fires of evangelical revival. We'll
complete our visit to Gloucester at its magnificent cathedral, one of the
finest in England and considered the sixth most beautiful building in all of
Europe. We continue on to overnight in the delightful village of Stratford,
home of the bard. (B) Day 6 Epworth & Lincoln - Wesley was born on June 17,
1703, in Epworth in Lincolnshire. He was the 15th of 19 children born to
Susanna Wesley and her husband, Samuel, an Anglican clergyman. At Epworth we'll
visit the birthplace of John and Charles Wesley, the Epworth Rectory, the
Wesley Memorial Church and St. Andrew's Parish Church. It was at St. Andrew's
where the Reverend Samuel Wesley served for 39 years and where John preached
outdoors by his father's grave. In the hamlet of Scrooby in Notthinghamshire
we'll see the cottage of William Brewster where he and William Bradford and
other adventurers listened to Pastor Richard Clyfton preach. It was from
Scrooby that the escape from England was planned which ultimately led to
spending a few years in Holland and finally the voyage of the Mayflower in
1620. This afternoon we turn towards Nottingham and its famous castle. If time
permits we'll stop briefly in the Sherwood Forest to see Robin Hood's great oak
tree and visitor's center. Overnight in Lincoln (1 night) (B).jpg) Day 7 Bedford, Olney,

"Amazing Grace", "How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds", and
"Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken" were written by John Newton. At
the end of his seafaring days, Newton was rector at this church. This afternoon
