Pendlebury memoir, infra) he removed to Holcome chapel in Bury parish, with the assent of the classis (, Life of Oliver Heywood;, Vicars of Rochdale, Chetham Soc. i. 101). He was ejected from Holcome in 1662, but found occasional opportunities of preaching.

On the Declaration of Indulgence in 1672, Pendlebury returned to Holcome, where a temporary place of worship was built for him in Bass Lane (, Hist. of Rochdale, p. 252;, Lanc. Nonc. ii. 157). He also officiated at Rochdale (cf., iii. 241 n.); but his ministrations were mainly devoted to Holcome. He died on 18 June 1695 in his seventieth year, and was buried in Bury church. In 1865 his bones were removed to a common receptacle on the occasion of the building of the new parish church. Newcome notes his death in his ‘Autobiography’ (p. 308) with the words ‘a great loss.’ His will was proved at Chester in 1695. His widow, his second wife, Jane Wolstenholme, died near Turton in Lancashire on 18 Nov. 1713 (Northowram Register). His son William Pendlebury, M.A., was for many years minister of Mill Hill Chapel, Leeds (see, Diaries, iv. 319; , Hist. of Birch Chapel, p. 86, Chetham Soc.)

Pendlebury was one of the most learned nonconformists of his day. Most of his works were published posthumously. The titles are: 1. ‘A plain Representation of the Transubstantiation as it is received in the Church of Rome, by a Country Divine, London, 1687, sm. 4to, pp. 68. There is a questionable tradition that the work ‘was carried by a friend of his privately to Archbishop Tillotson, who caused it to be printed, he so much approved of it’ (, Account, p. 400), but Tillotson was not archbishop till 1691. 2. ‘Invisible Realities: the Real Christian's greatest Concernment, in several [i.e. six] sermons on 2 Cor. iv. 18,’ London, 1696, dedicated to Hugh, lord Willoughby of Parham, by John Chorlton, with brief memoir of the author by Chorlton; reprinted at Bury, in 1816, with ‘The Book Opened.’ 3. ‘The Book Opened, being [the substance of] several Discourses on Rev. xx. 14,’ London, 1696; reprinted Bury, 1816, with No. 2. 4. ‘The Barren Fig Tree, or a practical Exposition of the Parable, Luke xiii. 6–9,’ London, 1700; Rochdale, 1700; Leeds, 1793. 5. ‘Sermons by Henry Pendlebury of Rochdale,’ with preface and dedication by Chorlton and Cunningham of Manchester; 2nd edit. Manchester, 1711. 6. ‘Sacrificium missalicum mysterium iniquitatis, or a treatise concerning the Sacrifice of the Mass’ (never before printed), London, 1768. Several sermons preached at the Bolton lecture were reprinted in Slate's ‘Select Nonconformist Remains’ (pp. 349–89).

 PENDLEBURY, JAMES (d. 1758?), colonel and last master-gunner of England, first appears as comptroller of the first permanent train of artillery on 1 May 1698. He embarked for Holland in 1702 as comptroller of the train then sent out, which consisted of thirty-four pieces, with two companies of gunners, one of pioneers, and one of pioneers. The staff included a colonel, a lieutenant-colonel, a major, a comptroller, a paymaster, adjutant, &c. In 1706 he was appointed chief fire-master; in 1708 second colonel and comptroller in Holland; in November 1709 master-gunner of England; in the following month colonel of royal artillery in the Low Countries. He was second colonel and comptroller in Flanders in 1711, and in 1715 he was placed on half-pay of 1l. 12s. 6d. a day. The date of his death is not quite certain. He was the last officer who bore the title of master-gunner of England, which goes back to the time of Henry VIII.
