- Summary: Tabernacl Chapel was built in 1812 and rebuilt in 1841 in Gothic style with a hipped box and probably square plan. In 1878 the interior was refitted, with a short-wall entry plan, and the chapel probably enlarged, to the designs of architect George Morgan of Carmarthen. In 1884 Morgan added a porch to the facade, and a schoolroom, then in 1900 a manse.

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
