- Summary: Penry Memorial Chapel is a typical small single-storied chapel of the late nineteenth century built in 1892. Its main gable entrance to the street is of the Simple Gothic style having a central gothic pointed doorway flanked by two gothic windows with 'Y'-tracery glazing bars. There is a simple cantilevered porch over the door and a circular window above this, with a date and name plaque above and two slot-openings in the gable to ventilate the attic. The mass walling of the front is of squared rock-faced Pennant Sandstone with yellow-brick dressings. The side walls of the church are of coursed rubble with six rectangular domestic-type windows. The ceiling is supported on timber arches with a flat centre ceiling at tie-beam level. The interior now has chairs and a platform at the end gable with an arched recess to the back, now a simple pulpit.

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
