The Bridgeyate Ebenezer
The Bridgeyate Ebenezer
A United Methodist chapel was established here in 1810 to serve the villagers. Many local people had to gather in houses before plans were made to build a permanent structure; one John Trubody gave a small plot of land for the foundation in February, 1810, here in Bridgeyate. The worshippers, many of whom worked at the Warmley Tower brassworks, established this homely chapel.

Local tales state that John Wesley himself came here from Kingswood to preach on the Common, tying his horse to the chestnut tree nearby.

Now, however, the Grade II listed church has been converted into up-market holiday flats, using the old chapel and schoolhouse.
