about

Henry Ince (1802-87) from Bournheath was a respected Methodist preacher, nailers’ leader and local character! One of the first trustees of the Primitive Methodist Chapel in Bournheath (1837), he took part in his first strike in 1842. Like many others he was active in both Methodism and early trade unionism, emphasizing personal faith but also the social implications of the Gospel. The nailers’ gift to Ince came after the resolution of a strike in 1869. There’s some question about the date of a poem used in the bridge (1842 or 1862?) but it may refer to the gift of a ton of coal made to striking nailers, who then hauled it from Halesowen to Bromsgrove as a protest and for sale.
