- Summary: Capel-Y-Graig Welsh Calvinist Methodist Chapel was first built in 1765, and enlarged in 1774, before being rebuilt in 1808 and 1828. It is in the Simple Round-Headed Style, with a coursed rubble facade, rendered on all other elevations; it is of the long-wall entry type. The front elevation of the chapel has two large round-headed arched sash windows, flanked by two double panelled doors with fanlights over, above which are two small arch-headed sash windows. The hipped roof above is of slate with ridge tiles. To the left of the chapel is a lean-to vestry, which is entered via a plain wooden door atop an external staircase.
Inside, the chapel has a wood-panelled gallery around three sides. Below are three banks of bow pews, and wooden pulpit reached by quarter-turning stairs to either side.

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
