- Summary: Nebo Welsh Independent Chapel was built in 1808 for a cause founded in 1805. It was later rebuilt in 1835 and restored in 1914.
It is in the sub-Classical style, with rendered exterior beneath a hipped slate roof with bracketed eaves. The front facade has three bays, divided by pilastered round arches; the central giant arch encloses a plaque and paired windows over a pilastered arch entry, flanked by tall round-headed windows. The side elevations each have four bays with round-headed windows to the upper storey, segmental-headed windows below.
In 1905 (Royal Commission on the Church of England and Other Religious Buildings in Wales and Monmouthshire census) it was large enough to house a congregation of 315 and was valued at £1150.

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
