SD8338 : Wheatley Lane: Inghamite ChurchSD8338 : The Inghamite Church graveyardSD8338 : Notice board Inghamite Church

Benjamin Ingham (1712-1772) was ordained in the Church of England in 1735, and later accompanied John Wesley on a mission to the American province of Georgia. In due course (probably around 1753) he left the established church and began to ordain his own ministers, founding over 80 congregations mostly in the north of England. But by the 1960s there were only seven left (here at Wheatley and at Colne, Winewall and Cotton Tree in Lancashire; at Salterforth in the former West Riding, now transferred to Lancashire; at Kendal in Westmorland; and at Farringdon, Ontario, Canada). Since the closure of Salterforth, only this one at Wheatley remains in its original use.
