- Summary: The present incarnation of Salem Chapel dates to 1874, but the site has been in use since 1788. The chapel is in the Romanesque style, designed by Richard Owens of Liverpool, and has a three-bay snecked masonry front with ashlar dressings and rusticated quoins. The roof is of steeply pitched hipped fishscale slate. It is entered via a shallow gabled porch. To the front there is a stepped tripartite window at the level of the gallery, with narrow round arched lancets . The side elevations are rendered and each has five sets of Victorian sash windows, round arched on the first floor, plain on the ground floor.

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
