By 1586, Rev Greenwood was the recognised leader of London Separatist Puritans of whom a number had been imprisoned at various times since 1567. Greenwood was arrested in October 1586 and imprisoned at the Clink, Southwark and the following May sent to Fleet Prison. During his time there he wrote various controversial tracts with his fellow prisoner Henry Barrowe [1550-1593]. He appears to have been at liberty in 1588, possibly merely the liberty of the prison. When asked by the Bishop of London if he believed in baptism, Greenwood replied that he did. Asked if he did not have a son unbaptised, Greenwood replied that

his son Abel (11½ years old) was unbaptised but he had been in prison and was unable to take his son to a reformed church where he could be baptised according to God's ordnance

Asked if he did not consider the English Church [to be] a church of god, he replied

No

In 1590, Greenwood wrote An Answer to George Gifford's pretended Defence of Read Prayers

He was arrested on 5th December 1592, and in March 1593, he was again arrested together with Henry Barrowe and condemned to death on a charge of

devising and circulating seditious books

Greenwood and Barrowe had been due to be hanged on 24th March 1593 but were reprieved. They were, however, swiftly and secretly taken early to Tyburn and hanged without ceremony on 6th April 1593

The band of pilgrims who landed at Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620 were his followers – they had worshipped in a church he founded - and they founded Boston and believed in the doctrines which he was first to teach

    In memory of William G. of Pecketwell, who was found dead at Bridgewell head in Wadsworth, on the 14th day of August, 1820.

    His thread of life now spun,
    His age near thirty-four years;
    And in his trade dropped down,
    And left this vale of tears
    
    James Greenwood stone. T.G.

    Son of

    A Quaker.

    Born at Stones House, Todmorden [6th August 1821] which had been rebuilt by his grandfather, William Greenwood.

    He lived and died at Stones.

    In 1832, he is listed as having a freehold in trust.

    His wealth gave him time to pursue his scientific interests. He built an astronomical observatory and kept meteorological records. He was a keen gardener and built a hot house. The house had its own gasometer, supplied by gas from the Fielden family's works. He was an enthusiastic photographer and used the recently-invented daguerrotype camera.

    He suffered increasing ill-health, and it is likely that he died of bone cancer or mercury poisoning caused by the vapour used in producing the photographs. A private bath-house at Stones may have been used to alleviate his pain.

    He died without issue [15th May 1864].

    Details of his death are recorded on the Liverpool Quaker Records of births, marriages & deaths.

    Probate records show that he left effects valued at under £1,500 [Resworn under £2,000] The will was proved by William Irlam of Ridgefield in Manchester (stationer)  and David Midgley Cockroft.

    Because of legal complications, his estate was in the hands of the Greenwood's Trustees until it was sold at auction at the White Hart, Todmorden in 1899
