There then appeared a Puritan division of the Church of England
whose clergy, in the 17th century, refused to conform to certain
practices, such as wearing the surplice and kneeling to receive Holy
Communion.
After 1662, the term was used to describe those who left the church
rather than abide by the Act of Uniformity which demanded the use
of the new Prayer Book in churches.
They met in secret meetings, fearful of detection by the soldiers
of Charles II.

gave the nonconformists freedom of worship.
Freedom of worship came with the Declaration of Indulgence and the
Act of Toleration of 1689.
Many local manufacturers, including the Crossleys, were
Nonconformists, although there was a shift towards the Church of
England at the beginning of the 20th century.
