A rear view of Ebenezer Chapel and vestry
Locally, this Congregational chapel built in 1823, is known as Capal Eban. Ebenezer became the name of the village which grew around it. It was only in 1922 that the name Deiniolen was coined. An older local name for the village, and one still very much in use, is Llanbabo, as many of the first inhabitants originated from Llanbabo in Anglesey. Deiniolen people are often referred to as "Llanbabs".
