Eccleston Methodist Church, sad end for the building.
Quote from Eccleston Parish Council magazine 2005/2006.
“In 1963 Westfield Street Methodist Church in
central St Helens closed for worship and the
building was demolished under a compulsory
purchase order. The trustees had already made
provision for its continuing life by purchasing a
large house with extensive grounds in Burrows
Lane, Eccleston.
The house became a residence for the minister and
the lounge served as a place of worship for nearly
four years until the present church was built and
opened in June 1967 by the late Lady Pilkington.”
The church closed in May 2006 and the land was sold for residential development.
On the night of 5th November 2010 a fire badly damaged the building though its fate was already sealed.

Eccleston Methodist Church, Burrows Lane
Eccleston means church farm or settlement. "Eccles" which is found in several place names in the North West of England is derived from the Welsh "Eglwys" and the use of this word implies a Celtic religious foundation. However, Christ Church half a mile to the north on Church Lane was built between 1838/9 and is considerably older than this modern church.

Christ Church opened its doors on October 10th 1838. Built of rock-faced red sandstone from the nearby quarry at Eccleston Hill, the land was given by Samuel Taylor, a cotton manufacturer who also donated 52 and a half acres of his land to create Taylor Park with its 12 acre lake.
