Chinley Chapel at Chapel Milton Chinley Independent Chapel was founded in 1662 by Rev. William Bagshawe who one of about 2,000 ministers and teachers of the church who failed to conform to the Uniformity Act of 1662. On St Bartholomew's Day, 24th August, 1662, Rev. Bagshawe who was then vicar of Glossop and others who rebelled against the Uniformity Act of 1662 were deprived of their living and ministries. Rev. Bagshawe (who was also known as the 'Apostle of the Peak') then moved to Malcoffe Farm occupied by his brother-in-law who willingly consented for a barn on his farm to be converted into a Chapel. This became the place of worship for him and about 120 members who attended Sacramental Services there. He preached regularly to this gathering until 22nd March, 1702 -the day he preached his last sermon. After Rev Bagshawe's death in 1702, the members of the church led by the Rev. James Clegg started the work on finding a suitable place for building of a new Chapel. In 1711, Chinley Independent Chapel was built. source <span class="nowrap"><a title="www.chinleyindependentchapel.org.uk" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.chinleyindependentchapel.org.uk">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
