Description
In Wesleyan Shaftos Robert Shafto records his Wesleyan family history. The growth of Wesleyan Methodists was powerful in York during the Victorian era. The Shafto family ceased to be York clay tobacco pipe makers and they became builders, brick makers and Wesleyan ministers. With building and literary accomplishments, the Shaftos became class-conscious. There was a black sheep in the family and a feud developed which was hidden for more than 100 years. The author finally sees how the lives of his ancestors are sometimes reflected in his own life.
