The building still bears its original name 'Ebenezer Chapel'; an early C20 map labels it as 'Methodist New Connexion' and indicates a small burial ground around it. A side view Image suggests that the worship area is on the first floor. It is outwith the Conservation Area that covers the village centre, but the appraisal document gives a wider history of the village. It notes that the village had the first Nonconformist chapel in the Halifax area in 1688 and had a strong Noncomformist (Protestant) tradition for a long time, only gaining a permanent Church of England building in 1911. Ebenezer Chapel was built in 1821, rebuilt 1882 (presumably the present building).
