Add PhotosEbenezer Chapel was first established in 1662 by Rev. Peter Johnson MA, ejected from St Lawrence parish church by the Act of Uniformity. The congregation first assembled in a building behind the Market, and in 1738 a new chapel was erected on the Meeting Street site in Ramsgate. Burial Ground adjoining. The chapel was rebuilt 1838, designed by G. M. Hinds and William Woodland and erected by William Saxby. The foundation stone was laid by Mary Townley in her 84th year.
In 1973, with the burial ground no longer in use, the remains of 478 persons were exhumed, removed from Ebenezer Chapel's burial ground and re-interred at Ramsgate Cemetery in 4 burial spaces.
The Ebenezer Chapel and Burial Ground was founded around 1696 and there are burial registers at the PRO dating from 1788 to 1837. The burial registers from 1825 to 1919 list a total of 655 burials from 1825 to 1919, although there were only 15 burials after 1892, probably in existing graves. Ages were given from about 1845.
By the 1830s, the chapel became the Congregational Church, which still stands today on Meeting Street, known as the "Former Congregational Church", as it's no longer used as a church building. The burial ground is gone.
The building is listed on the National Heritage List for England.
