In 1875 an infants’ school that would also serve as a church was proposed for Ewloe. Dedicated in August 1877 as St. Winifred’s Chapel Schoolroom, the first service was led by the Rector, the Rev. Stephen E. Gladstone. The building had cost £600 and was located approximately where the A494 flyover is now. St. Winifred’s thrived and became a centre for the community, providing a church, school, further education institute, lending library and social centre. St. Winifred’s continued as a school until Ewloe Green Primary school was built in 1922 but continued as a church and church hall until the present church was built.
