- Summary: Bethlehem Independent Chapel was founded and built in 1874 to the design of Owen Morris Roberts of Porthmadog. It is in the Classical style, with a cement rendered exterior and rusticated quoins. The chapel is entered via a double panelled wooden door into a porch adjoining the northern gable end. In the triangle of the gable there is a small arch-headed window with vented side lights. The left hand elevation has four tall arch-headed paned windows, and bears a plaque which reads 'BETHLEHEM / CARTREF / SEINDORF / TREFOR / (SEFYDLWYD 1863)'. The right hand elevation has an adjoining lean-to building, while the rear elevation has no fenestration. The chapel is topped by a pitched slate roof.
Built for the English quarrymen who came from Leicestershire.

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
