Notes taken from an attached sheet of the Religious Census of 1851, The Religious Census of 1851: A Calendar of the Returns Relating to Wales, by I G Jones & D Williams, P428, "Our Chapel was built in 1838; the land being given by a Neighbouring Gentleman, when a few Baptist friends in and About Camrose came to the determination of Building a small Chapel for the Convenience of Worship and for publick day School. (though no Sunday School at present). The space without sittings for the school 30 feet long by 10 feet broad the other space is filled up with free sittings. We have no stated minister for the last twelve months being supplied by neighbouring Ministers with the students from Haverfordwest Academy. The weekly school has been tried by several school masters since the errection of the Chapel but has given up for the want of Scholars attending..." Henry John. Deacon.
A good gable-end façade chapel, steeply pitched roof, dark random-rubble walls, bargeboards, Palladian window group. Baptismal pond to left in courtyard front. 1851 Census replies: "Built on land 1838 given by a neighbouring gentleman when a few Baptist Friends around Camrose came to the determination to build a chapel for the convenience of worship and for a publick school. No minister for the last 12 months...the school has been tried out by several school-masters but given up due to lack of scholars. We live in an agricultural district, the poorer class cannot pay for schooling. The present school-master has few scholars, his maintenance being by generosity of friends". (Anthony Jones)

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
