The Sutton Oak Welsh Chapel was built by the Wesleyan Methodists in 1845. It was constructed using cobbles made from copper slag from the copper works on the Sutton banks of the St.Helens canal. The nonconfirmist Welsh congregation acquired it in 1893, having previously occupied a room provided by a local firm - as the only way in was through a hole in the wall, this was known as “The Hole in the Wall Chapel”.
