In the middle of the 18th century, Ingham founded a number of Non-conformist Christian societies, chiefly in the Pennine areas of Lancashire and Yorkshire.
These 'societies' formed the basis of local congregations which met in chapels as their place of worship.
Many of these chapels were funded and built new for this purpose by benefactors in the Inghamite societies.
At the height of their popularity around 100 Inghamite Chapels are believed to have existed,[citation needed] including one in Ontario, Canada.
