MEB Design are pleased to announce the completion of Phase 1 of the restoration at Ebenezer Chapel, a Grade II listed neo-classical building dating from the 1870s. The International Presbyterian Church acquired the building in 2021. While the rear hall was in usable condition, the main chapel, particularly the west façade, had suffered from stonework deterioration, spalling, and water ingress.
In 2023, MEB Design was appointed to undertake a detailed assessment to specify required masonry and render repairs, procure contractors, and provide on-site supervision. Restoration was successfully completed in March 2025 by TW Barber, preserving the building’s architectural heritage and ensuring structural integrity.
Phase 2 will deliver a full refurbishment, including a new kitchen, accessible toilets, and a creche, enhancing the building for community use while respecting its historical character.
