James Neale, the proprietor of the Church Works, Hanley, was not a potter but a china dealer in London. He took over the pottery from Humphrey Palmer in 1778 and from at least 1781 the firm was known as Neale & Co. Neale appointed a manager, Robert Wilson, and returned to London. In 1790 or 1791 Wilson became the proprietor. .
