There is a story that one of Wesley’s horses died in Otley and was buried in the parish churchyard. Opposite the northwest corner of the Parish Church can be found a peculiar triangular stone, commonly known as the ‘donkey stone’, which is where the horse is believed to have been buried. Quoting from Wesley’s own journal on Sunday 5th May 1782: “One of my horses having been so thoroughly lamed at Otley that he died in three or four days. They buried him in the churchyard there being no other place. So Robert rests”.
