- Summary: Maesyneuadd Welsh Independent Chapel was first built in 1812, but later rebuilt in 1880, to house a congregation that originally met in the farmhouse opposite. The chapel is of stone, with the side and rear elevations roughcast, while the gable façade is rendered and has banded rustication to the lower storey, with a moulded string separating the storeys. The building is entered via a pair of central doors with overlights in a slightly projecting bay with broad pilasters. In the narrow side bays to either side there are three small windows. The central bay on the second storey has a round-headed paned window with keystone and narrow square headed side lights, and is defined by a pair of Corinthian pilasters supporting a heaving cornice and pediment. There are returns to both sides of the gable façade, with wide pilasters flanking a small second storey window, and topped by a steep pitched gable pediment. The side elevations each have four rows of windows, square-headed on the lower storey, round-headed above.
Inside the chapel is a three-sided gallery with wood panelled front supported by cast iron Corinthian columns, and slightly raked seating. The walls are plastered with a dado. The ceiling is moulded and compartmented with plaster rosettes.

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
