- Summary: The chapel was built on a smallholding called Pantswllt, the property of J Lloyd Williams esq. Once the church was ready, 50 memebers were released from the mother church at Penrhiwgalad to form a church. In 1849 the church was reapired and a new roof put on, and in 1871 the old church was demolished and a new one built aloong with a chapel house. The cost of this work was £600. A vestry was added in 1898.
It is in the simple round-headed style, built from uncoursed rubble stone with stone voussoirs and keystones, below a pitched slate roof with bracketed eaves. The chapel is entered via a central double door with fanlight in the gable elevation; above the door is a small eleven-pane round-headed sash window, and to either side is a tall twenty-six pane round-headed sash windows.
Within the chapel there is a three-sided slightly raked gallery with panelled front mounted upon cast iron columns with fluted capitals. Below are three banks of box pews, the outer pews facing inwards into the chapel. The pulpit is approached via paired staircases with timber balustrades. Above the pulpit is an inscribed plaque enclosed within a plaster arch. The ceiling is boarded.

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
