The Revd. Charles Maslen's ministry did much to revitalise the Church. The membership roll increased by 55 new members and in 1813 a Sunday School was formed and also an auxiliary of the London Missionary Society. A short time afterwards, between 1815 and 1817, side galleries were added to the chapel at a cost of £200. A Good Samaritan Society came into existence, and in 1823 a chapel was built at Hatfield, of which Mr. Maslen had charge. Five young men were led to enter the Christian Ministry.

Mill owner William Horstall shot and killed by Luddites in Huddersfield. 17 men sentenced to hang at York.
