<p class="just">Allen was educated with a view to taking Holy Orders, first with two different clergymen at different times, and then for one year at St. John’s College, Cambridge. Leaving Cambridge in 1752, he became a follower of Benjamin Ingham, founder of the Inghamite sect. He subsequently joined himself to the Sandemanians, and finally built a chapel on his estate at Gayle, ministering there the rest of
|
|
his life. He published a small volume, <i>Christian Songs</i>, with 17 hymns, and was the editor and principal contributor to the 1757 <i>Kendal Hymn Book</i> and the <i>Appendix</i> to the second edition in 1761.</p>
