Former Ebenezer Chapel
"John Wesley himself is believed to have twice preached to the miners of West Rainton in April 1747. Services were held in the homes of members until a chapel was built in Hall Lane in 1822. Its last service was held in 1956 and the chapel closed due to lack of support, having once been extremely active. It was subsequently used for many years as book storage." (West Rainton and Leamside Parish Council) Now converted into a residence. It is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
