What is recorded here

This blue commemorative plaque records: Ebenezer House In 1807 some members of Glenorchy Church broke away from the original congregation, after a dispute. They began to worship in this house (built late 18th century), which belonged to Richard Staple, their Elder. It became known as 'The Little Revenge'. In 1817 the adjacent coach houses were turned into a chapel which sufficed until 1893. In that year it was rebuilt in its present form, the cottage becoming the Manse and later the Sunday School. Reconciliation with Glenorchy Church took place in the mid 20th century, resulting in this Chapel's closure. The house had already reverted to residential use. Recorded plaque organisation: Exmouth Society.
Ebenezer House served as a site of religious dissent in Exmouth, where a splinter group from Glenorchy Church worshipped starting in 1807 after a dispute, highlighting the impact of religious disagreements on community structures.
