Description

Sutton Oak Welsh Chapel, built in the 1850s, is a chapel constructed from squared industrial waste with a brick-faced front and stone dressings, topped with a slate roof. The facade features two round-headed windows with alternate stone voussoirs and small-paned fixed glazing. There is a central round-headed entrance, also with alternate stone voussoirs, which includes an inset Tuscan doorcase with paired doors that have fielded panels. A blank stone plaque is located in the gable. The four-bay returns have windows with flat stone surrounds and latticed iron glazing, and the south end is marked by stone quoins. Attached to the rear is a house, No. 2 Lancots Lane, which is two storeys tall with one gabled bay. This house has small sashed windows and an entrance with a 20th-century door to the right of a small brick lean-to. The left return of the house features a small ground floor window, while the rear has a brick end stack and a one-storey lean-to bay. This building is notable as one of only two in St. Helens constructed from industrial waste, the other being Holy Trinity on Traverse Street.
