1) Ministers house (ruin)
Remains of an early meeting house and cottage? Used as cow byre. Simple cruck roof with traces of thatch still to be seen under the new corrugated roof. One intact 'cruck' removed from the roof is leaning against a barn in an adjacent farmyard, with the rafter and purlin pegs still in place.
2) Chapel.
Founded in 1748 at the house above. Moved to the chapel in 1819.
Sidewall façade, now cement rendered, but random rubble construction (still visible on left gable-end façade which has a blocked-up window - did they add a gallery.

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
