- Summary: The Llwyn Hen Methodist Chapel at Frankwell had the appearance of an earlier or mid-nineteenth century construction. The chapel first opened in 1813 and was extended in 1863 with further modifications and rebuilding work, probably including the porch, in 1892. This stone building has a pebbledashed front gable with a pointed doorway. The left hand wall has three openings, the two outer ones are windows with pointed stone arched heads, and the centre opening, presently a doorway, has a chamfered flat wooden head. There are two round-headed windows in the rear gable. This chapel closed in 1977, when the congregation transferred to Soar (NPRN: 12246), which they rented from the Annibynwyr. By 2002, Llwyn Hen had been converted into a dwelling, and Soar was also being converted into one.

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
