Administrative / biographical background:

The account of the history of the Church, written in 1822, in the Church Book (SY 730/N1/1) says that Loxley Chapel was built in 1787 by the Rev. Benjamin Greaves, curate of Bradfield, originally for the use of the Established Church. In 1798 it passed into the hands of "that body of Protestant dissenters called Independents", and from 1802 or 1803 it had its own pastor, the Rev. Daniel Dunkerley. According to the Religious Census of 1851 an average congregation at an afternoon service was 200
