George Haines 

George Haines (d. 1780) was originally from Gloucester. He was called into the ministry through the influence of Benjamin Francis at Horsley. Haines would serve as minister at Bethel Chapel (Baptist) in Shipley from 1771 until his death in 1780. Earlier ministers at Shipley included Joseph Gawkrodger (1758-1767) and Luke Collins (1769-1770). Under Haines’s leadership, the chapel was enlarged. He was succeeded briefly by Robert Gaze (1781-1782) and then by John Bowser (1782-1812). Eventually, Isaac Mann would pastor at Shipley, 1814-1826.
