- Summary: Nebo Independent Chapel, built in 1876 for a community founded in 1813, is a fine example of a late nineteenth century rural chapel. It is in a simple Gothic style, built from rubble stone with coped gables and a pitched slate roof. The chapel is entered via a pair of outer doors with Y-tracery overlights in the gable end, flanking a pair of tall pointed arched windows with Y-tracery and stone voussoirs. Above is a large recessed plaque and a circular vent in the gable apex, both with stone voussoir surrounds. The left elevation has three tall pointed arch windows with Y-tracery, while the right elevation is rendered, with one pointed arched window, and an adjoining chapel house.
Within the chapel the walls are plastered and painted, while the ceiling has a boarded outer band with pierced vents, and a central ornamental rose in the sunflower form. There is no gallery; the pews are raked and face a plain five-sided pulpit with panelled set fawr.

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
