- Summary: Capel Cenarth was built in the simple Gothic style in 1872. It constructed of squared slate blocks with stone voussoirs, below a pitched slate roof with pedimented gables, crested ridge tiles and finials. The chapel is entered via a central double door with pointed overlight in the gable elevation. To either side of the doorway is a tall pointed-arched window with Y-tracery, while above there is a larger pointed-arched window with intersecting tracery. The side elevations have three pointed-arched windows with Y-tracery. In the apex of the gable is a datestone.
In 1905 (Royal Commission on the Church of England and other Religious Bodies in Wales and Monmouthshire) there were 150 sittings in the chapel which was valued at £500.

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
