Its name came from the Celtic word ''"eglēs"'' meaning a church, and the Old English word ''"tūn"'' meaning a farmstead or settlement - i.e. a settlement by a Romano-British church.
Nowadays it acts as a rural suburb for commuters to Central Lancashire, Liverpool, and Manchester, set amidst countryside. Eccleston is home to the Pontins holiday firm.
