--------------------------
"The chapel was an adjunct of St. Martins Church before the 1811 split with the Established Church" (Rees, 'Southwest Wales', Shell Guide)
Built in 1865, situated very close to the Church. Very large and Sumptious easliy capable of accommodating the largest revival congregation. The interior is exceptionally richly furnished with a superb pulpit though this has been moved forward from the wall in recent years to make for a big preaching platform rather than a sharply focussed preaching point. Pulpit supported on legs and shaped rather like the prow of a ship. Nice big organ which was once behind this has been moved and the organ arch-recess draped.
Slab of a façade with a restrained and rather "Regency" feeling obout it, not unlike that which Hartland later reworks in Tabernacle, Hayes, Cardiff, 1866. Slight detailing but very subdued, little lable-mouldings, delicate window tympanium, low-profile and very small pediment carrying the wide rectangular plaque with chapel name. Steps recently altered (77) to one wide set - originally two separate sets. Schoolroom to left is well integrated. 1851 Census records two Wes. Chaps., one pre-1800, one 1835

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
