        History

        It is possible that John Henley is "Orator Henley" (1692-1756) a dissenting minister who moved to London in 1720, initially taking up preaching posts and undertaking writing work. In 1725 he resigned all his posts and founded his own chapel, The Oratory, where he gave religious sermons and political or academic lectures. His subjects became increasingly bizarre and were often met with criticism in the press and riot and uproar in the chapel. He only stopped lecturing when he became ill in 1755.
