- Summary: Noddfa Baptist Chapel was built in 1867 and rebuilt in 1876, to the design of architect E.Roberts of Pontypridd. The chapel was built in a mixed design with Classical proportions including heavy quoins, moulded cornicing to the pediment and heavy stone voussoirs to the round-headed doorway. The windows were round-headed with Florentine tracery, delicately moulded architraves to the opeinings and inset rectangular panels below each window seperated by ancanthus decorated insets. The pediment contained two moulded stone roundels and a plaque inscribed NODDFA CAPEL Y BEDYDDWYR AD 1867, over which was a smaller example of the window and panels seen on the first floor. In the main cornice was the inscription AIL ADEILADWYD 1876. This chapel was severely damaged in 1985 and by 2000 had been demolished. Noddfa Day Centre has since been built on the site.

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
