Eccleston is a ward in the metropolitan borough of St Helens in Merseyside, a short distance south of the town centre and set against the edge of the green belt. The area is centred on the historic village, with a parish church, a handful of listed buildings and a strongly village-like character that reflects its roots in what was historically Lancashire.
Today it is largely residential with pockets of farmland and semi-rural lanes, popular with commuters thanks to good road and public-transport links to nearby towns and cities such as Liverpool. Local life revolves around community groups, schools, churches, pubs and sports clubs, while the wider local economy remains tied to small businesses and the industrial heritage of the St Helens area.
