- Summary: Rehoboth Welsh Independent Chapel was built in 1807 to house a community founded in 1800. It was then rebuilt in the Classical style in 1869. The chapel, which is built of uncoursed rubblestone, is entered via a central wooden double doorway with fanlight over in the gable end. Above the doorway are two small round-headed windows, and to either side is a single tall round-headed window. In the apex of the gable is a quatrefoil oculus, below which is a tablet inscribed '1869 Rehoboth'. The side elevations, which are slate hung, each have two tall round-headed windows.
Inside, the chapel has a three-sided gallery with wooden panelled front, mounted upon cast iron columns with Corinthian capitals. To the front of the chapel, above the set fawr, is a wall mounted clock set within an arch with Ionic pilasters. There is a memorial within the chapel for Revd. John Henry Hughes (1814-93).

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
