Sutton Oak Welsh Chapel Meeting

I've received a nice email from Paul Jones, chairman and editor of the newly-formed Sutton Oak Welsh Chapel Society who informs me that they are holding their inaugural meeting on Wednesday January 10th at 1pm at the Methodist Church in New Street, St Helens.

Mr. Jones writes that the chapel in
Lancots Lane has been closed for 2 years and the building has subsequently fallen into disrepair. However, over the next few weeks dedicated members of the Society will be cleaning and repairing the chapel with the intention of holding their committee and public meetings there in February. Church services will resume soon afterwards.

The listed building has some history as it is one of only two structures in St Helens that were made from industrial waste, having been built c.1845. The Society have created their own website which I've added to the links section of Sutton Beauty. I walk past the building regularly and it will be great to see it being used again.
