The Ebenezer Chapel at Hebden Bridge was built in 1777.    The Particular Baptists outgrew it by 1857 and it became a Sunday School till 1883.  It was sold after the first World War and had various other uses until 1973 when, after being the offices of the Hebden Bridge Times, it became the village Arts Centre, and remains as such today.

The design latitude and declination are both inscribed on this fine dial, together with a motto which reads ‘Quod Petis Umbra Est’ (What thou seekest is a shadow). The sturdy gnomon has a decoratively sculpted lower edge, and although it is quite thin, there is an appropriate substyle gap in the chapter ring. Unusually for a vertical dial, it is flanked on each side by EoT corrections for 38 dates in the year.
