The first Primitive Methodist Chapel in Winwick Lane, Lowton dates back to 1842. By 1880 a larger chapel was needed, and a new one was built on the corner of Winwick Lane and Newton Road - pictured above. This was consecrated in 1881 and remained in use until it was demolished in 1985. The original chapel building was used as a church hall until a new hall was built in Newton Road.

When this church closed, the worshippers transferred to the Newton Road building, which became known as Lane Head Methodist Church.
