Very little info on the Ebeneza in Tring. basic details as follows taken from various sources.. I also have a list of various events at the chapel over the years taken from the local newspaper. I can send you these if you are interested. Adapted from "A History of Tring" by Sheila Richards. The 2nd Particular Baptist church moved, in 1808, to The Orchard, Akeman Street, owned by Mr Thomas Kingham. The present chapel, called Glover's chapel, was built there in 1832. In 1836 some members drew away from Mr Glover's chapel and moved into a barn belonging to Thomas Fleet in the West end of Tring. The barn was turned into a hall and in about 1859 they built the Ebenezer, Chapel Street, probably on the site of the original barn. From the “Tring Triangle” by Jill Fowler Although St Marthas is on the corner of Park Road and Chapel Street it is not the church that gave the road its name. The Ebenezer Chapel, built in 1859 just across the road, suggested the name. The Ebenezer chapel building is still there and was still registered for marriages until the early 1950s, although it was used for a Home Guard headquarters during the war and for commercial purposes afterwards.
