- Summary: Abermeurig Methodist Chapel was built in 1698 and rebuilt four times, in 1772, 1816, 1826 and 1890.
The present chapel, dated 1890, is built of stone in the Simple Round-Headed style of the gable entry type. The front façade is rendered, and features three round-headed windows with round-headed glazing, set above two round-headed doorways. The long, side, elevation has four larger, round-headed, windows with similar glazing, the centre two set at a lower level to the outer two. This may suggest that the earlier chapel was long-walled, and the interior has been reorientated to fit with the current gable entry form. On the rear gable end, there is an attached chapel house.
In 1905 (Royal Commission on the Church of England and other Religious Bodies in Wales and Monmouthshire) there were 268 sittings in the chapel which was valued at £800.

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
