John Dracup

John Dracup (1723-1795) ministered to the Independent meeting at Steep Lane, Sowerby, Yorkshire, 1755-1772; he then joined the Baptists and preached at Rodhill End, near Todmorden, Lancashire, and at Rochdale, 1772-1783. He returned to Steep Lane in 1784 as a Baptist, and the church joined the denomination at that time. Dracup remained there until his death in 1795.
