Built in 1762 using local subscriptions and a substantial endowment from John Bourne of Newcastle, this 'chapel near Mear Heath' had a history which has led to a variety of conflicting accounts. Youngs has it 'lost to dissent' after rebuilding in 1762, but this seems to have been a new build. Moreover rather than lost to dissent, it appears to have been licensed as a dissenting meeting house from the outset possibly as a means of permitting worship, which was none the less conducted according to the Anglican rite. The building was consecrated in 1764. It subsequently fell into disrepair and was rebullt under an act of 1792 and reconsecrated in 1795 as a chapel of ease to Stoke. In 1802 it was endowed by Queen Anne's Bounty and became a separate parish. See VCH Staffs viii 233-4 for the best account. Also known as Lane End chapel
