John Lacy (1700-81) began his ministry at the Baptist congregation in Meeting-house Alley, Portsmouth, in 1731 and was officially installed as pastor on 8 July 1732, just a few weeks after his visit to Broughton. He would remain as pastor of the Portsmouth church until his death in 1781, being succeeded by Joseph Horsey, father of Elizabeth Horsey Saffery, first wife of John Saffery, Baptist minister at Salisbury.
