context_page_description: John Lane was a wealthy clothier from Cullompton in Devon, remembered today for having built the magnificent Lane Chapel on the south side of St Andrew's Church, Cullompton. Due to a misreading of the inscription on the exterior of his Chapel he was said by Polwhele to have occupied the office of Wapentake Custos, Lanarius. However no historical evidence supports the existence of such an office and the inscription was later correctly re-interpreted by Smirke.
context_section_description: John Lane (died 1528) was a wealthy clothier from Cullompton in Devon, remembered today for having built the magnificent Lane Chapel (or Lane Aisle) on the south side of St Andrew's Church, Cullompton. Due to a misreading of the inscription on the exterior of his Chapel he was said by Polwhele (1793) to have occupied the office of Wapentake Custos, Lanarius, (translated as "Constable of the Hundred, wool merchant"). However no historical evidence supports the existence of such an office and the inscription was later correctly re-interpreted by Smirke (1847).
