Description
The Ebenezer Chapel, along with an attached minister's house to the rear, dates to 1839, although the minister’s house is likely older. Initially marked incorrectly on Ordnance Survey maps as a United Methodist Church, the building is now used as a house. The chapel is constructed of coursed and squared rubble, topped with a hipped slate roof and a pantile roof. It is designed in a Gothic style. The two-storey chapel frontage has a basement level. Two semi-circular headed windows are located on the first floor, each featuring 12-pane fixed-light casements with Gothic tracery. The ground floor has a central semi-circular headed door opening with paired 3-panelled doors and a decorative fanlight. The rear minister's house features predominantly 2-light casements and a plank door. A low rubble forecourt wall, topped with dressed stone, runs along the front, incorporating a central wrought and cast-iron gate with acanthus leaf details. The chapel's interior retains some fragments of the gallery and two 19th-century tablets.
