 | | Padgate was a village on the edge of Warrington, England, and today it is a large residential part of the town. |
 | | A plot of land was purchased on Padgate Lane, and a small chapel, seating 140, with high-backed pews, a towering red pulpit, with seats at each side for the scholars, a creaking harmonium, and a tiny vestry (added later) was built. |
 | | A circuit reorganisation in Warrington found a fourth minister being stationed in 1905, the purchase of a manse in Padgate, and the assumption of pastoral care of Padgate, Martinscroft, Antrobus, Lymm and Latchford chapels by the Rev. William Mellor, Padgate’s first resident minister. |
