Memorial to radical Christian minister Joseph Rayner Stephens, 1805-1879. Having been disciplined by the Wesleyan Connexion in 1834 for advocating separation of Church and State, he resigned and set up his own churches in Stalybridge and Ashton-under-Lyne, and became involved in the Chartist movement and the cause of factory reform. Sentenced to 18 months imprisonment in 1839 after some incendiary speeches.
