Hi Sandra My grt grt grt grandparents married in Lane End October 01, 1843 - The Early Era too. Please find attached below info I have found. I can only find info on the old Gospel Chapel at Moor End to be Lane End's earliest church. I will see if I can find out more from an old friend. Kind Regards Troy Shaw Mackay, QLD The parish of Lane End formed from Great Marlow, Hambleden, Fingest and West Wycombe has an area of 1,270 acres. The soil is sandy and the subsoil gravelly, producing crops of wheat and barley, but the inhabitants are principally engaged in the manufacture of chairs and in an ironfoundry and agricultural works. The parish is served by the church of the Holy Trinity on Ditchfield Common. There is also a Wesleyan chapel built in 1865 and a Gospel mission hall dating from 1888 at Moor End. At Moor Farm, to the south of Lane End, some of the buildings are of 17th-century origin and on the land belonging to the farm are the ruins of Ackhampstead Chapel, of which only fragments of the walls remain. It is said to have been rectangular on plan and to have been lighted by lancets. Moor Farm was the residence in the 17th century of John Brinkhurst, the founder of the Oxford Lane almshouses, who died in 1614 owning land called Mooreland. (fn. 46) The monument in Marlow Church to a John Brinkhurst who died in 1681 is probably that of his nephew and heir, who forfeited his lands in 1653 for recusancy.

Hi Troy Thank you for this info. Someone on the list pointed me to another site which said that the Holy Trinity church had been built in 1830 so I think this is probably the one I am looking for. Regards Sandra
