Bunting/Wildman family history

Wildman roots in the Meeting at Low Bentham

Wildmans were Instrumental in forming the Low Bentham Meeting

Extract taken from:Settle District 3A group

"By 1680 Friends in Bentham had grown sufficiently strong to embark on establishing a meeting house. A barn and land were bought at Town Head, Low Bentham, for £11 plus 3s 4d for solicitor's fees (at 1.5% less excessive than those today), by a trust consisting of four Friends—Thomas Shirrow, grocer of Wray; John Carr, husbandman of Bentham; John Tatham, joiner of Tatham and Elizabeth Moore, widow of Ousegill. The money was raised by subscriptions and 60 Friends contributed to the cost, amongst whom the names of Tennant, Kendal, Wildman and Cumberland were prominent. Meanwhile Friends were still unpopular with the establishment and in 1670, under the Conventicle Act of 1664, Sam Watson was fined £15 for holding a Quaker Meeting at Eldroth Hall and in 1682 Giles Moore of Overgails was fined £20 for having "a peaceable meeting" in his house, both excessive sums in those days. By 1692, in Bentham, more land was bought to enlarge the burial ground at Town Head, the old ground being recorded as quite full. This was walled in 1703, a workman being engaged to do so. The burial ground was further enlarged in 1710 when an adjacent close called "Wiggonber" was acquired for this purpose. At the same time the accommodation for the living in Meetings must have been getting quite tight as steps were taken to acquire Calf Cop. On the 2nd day of 3rd month, 1718, (Friends originally rejected the widely accepted names of the days and months as being derived, as they were, from the names of pagan gods), John Moore reported that he had purchased the estate of Calf Cop from Thomas Gibson and his mother, in the names of himself, Stephen Sedgewick, James Tatham and John Kendal "to accommodate us with better conveniency than we have had hitherto".
