==== Christopher Ingham ==== Utley Cemetery contains the grave of Christopher Ingham, a veteran of the conflict against [[Napoleon]]. He was a member of the [[Duke of Wellington]]'s elite 95th Rifle Regiment and fought in ten battles against the French in [[Spain]], [[France]] and [[Belgium]], including the [[Peninsular War|Spanish Peninsula War]] and the [[Battle of Waterloo]], for which he was awarded several medals, including the Peninsula Medal. He died in 1866. Some local historians believe Mr Ingham's heroism may have inspired the author [[Bernard Cornwell]]'s saga about Major [[Richard Sharpe (fictional character)|Richard Sharpe]].<ref>{{cite news |date=7 November 2003 |title=Woman pays tribute to Sharpe hero |work=[[Telegraph & Argus]] |url=http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/8007768.Woman_pays_tribute_to__Sharpe__hero/ |access-date=7 December 2017}}</ref> The TV series episode ''[[Sharpe's Justice]]'', which focuses on the roots of the title character, is set in and around Keighley.
