- Summary: Rock Independent Chapel has two plaques: one is a datestone inscribed 'Sylfaenwyd (founded) 1840 Ail Adeiladwyd (rebuilt) 1870' and the other, set over the main entrance, inscribed 'Rock Capel y Annibynwyr 1836-1931'.

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
