More about this scene
The town of St Helens derives its name from the early chapel dedicated to the saint. It was situated at the crossroads between the early settlements that we now know as Warrington, Widnes, Prescot and Wigan. The first known reference to the chapel was found in a document of 1552, though the original structure probably dated back to the 14th century. The modern church of St Helen was only completed in 1926, on or near the site of the early chapel. It is an evangelical church, and the present clergy are noted for taking their message out into the nearby shopping centre.
