- Summary: Ebenezer Methodist Chapel was built in 1807 and extended in 1821. The old chapel was converted for use as a house when a new chapel was built in 1846 and this later chapel was remodelled and a vestry added in 1906. The present chapel, dated 1846, is built in the Sub-Classical style, with a gable-entry plan, two storeys and round-headed windows. During the period between the wars, the chapel was a popular venue for concerts and penny readings intended to attract new members, and the demountable stage that covers the big seat is still there. Ebenezer chapel is now Grade 2 Listed for its architectural interest as a well-designed 1906 refronting and complete interior of the same date.

Hello
My great great grandparents were married in Kinnerton Chapel in Old Radnor on 21st May1850. I have been searching for information on the Chapel, so was pleased to find this website. I have now located it on Google Street View – looks like someone is ‘doing it up’ to live in: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.2612635,-3.1095337,3a,90y,232.95h,84.26t/data=!3m9!1e1!3m7!1s-8DWPORkq2RFVNXBLde_-g!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!9m2!1b1!2i53?hl=en-GB
The marriage record of my ancestors Abraham Bounds and Elizabeth Williams is attached. I hope it is of interest.
All the best
