Although Pilton Ebenezer chapel on Pylle Road is now in residential use, it still retains its 1839 datestone. Initially a Bible Christian chapel, there was a minister’s manse behind the worship area,, which was probably older.
It is a Grade 2 Listed Building. Inside the chapel there are two Nineteenth Century tablets and some of the gallery remains.
The 1940 Inventory of Methodist buildings contains an entry for Pilton Bible Christian chapel. It is recorded as stone built and seating 131 people on pews. In addition to the main hall there was a Sunday school and one other room.
In 1940 it was part of the Somerset Mission circuit.
The chapel appears on the 1867 Register of places of religious worship.
