Custodial history:
The Ebenezer society began as a mission from Barton-upon-Irwell in 1835. The members met in a cottage in Peel Green Road until a chapel was built in Worsley Road in 1838. In time a larger church was needed and in 1877 an iron church was erected, as a temporary measure, on a site in Liverpool Road. The school premises were built and opened in 1883, then the Iron Church was dismantled and a new church was built on the same site and opened in 1889. It belonged to the Manchester 4th United Free Methodist Church Circuit and the successors Manchester 4th United Methodist Circuit, Eccles New Road and Patricroft Methodist Circuit and Patricroft and Eccles Methodist Circuit. In 1955 it transferred to Eccles Methodist Circuit, an amalgamation of Eccles circuits. In 1964 the Patricroft Trinity church closed and its society united with that of Ebenezer. The Ebenezer church closed in 1972 and the society moved into a new building in Alexandra Road and became part of the new Cadishead and Eccles Methodist Circuit in around 1973.
