The chapel was doubled in size at a cost of £2,094, and when it was reconsecrated, its dedication was changed to St Mary.

This was built on the same site as the previous church between 1920 and 1926, and its dedication was changed back to St Helen.

At the west end is a narthex, in the centre of which are four entrances with pointed heads, and over these are panels containing quatrefoils.

Flanking the entrances are flying buttresses, then there are low passages linking them to square embattled turrets at the corners of the church.

The parclose screens and choir stalls are intricately carved, but the pews have simpler designs.

The stained glass in the east window is crowded with figures, and depicts the Te Deum.

In the chapel is a window dated 1927 that was designed as a First World War memorial by Horace Wilkinson.

[9] In the Buildings of England series, the architectural historians Pollard and Pevsner draw attention to the church's position as "the focal point of the town and a prominent landmark".

It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Saint Helens, the archdeaconry of Warrington, and the diocese of Liverpool.

[10] The church holds regular services on Sundays, and during the week[11] it arranges activities for children,[12] and other events.
