The English Heritage on-line thesaurus defines an Inghamite chapel as one for followers of Benjamin Ingham after he left the Moravians prior to joining the Sandamanians. Benjamin Ingham was a Yorkshire preacher in the mid 1700s and toured Yorkshire and Lancashire after being ordained in 1735. His followers established around 100 chapels at the height of his popularity, but only two are still in use, at Wheatley Lane and at Salterforth, both in the Pendle area of Lancashire. He died in 1772. The Kendal chapel was built in 1844 in the then old-fashioned late Georgian style with round-arched windows and a pedimented front. It has been converted to flats.
