- Summary: Bronant Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Chapel was built in 1836, but later rebuilt in 1872. The two-storey chapel is in the simple round-headed style, built from coursed stone blocks below a pitched roof of Welsh slate. The gable facade of the building features a central three-light window flanked by smaller single-lights over twinned gable porches, with a plaque and circular ventilation over the centre. The side elevations each have three tall round-headed windows. Together with the chapel there is a detatched two-storey stone-built meeting hall/vestry range.
Large enough to house a congregation of 372 in 1905 (Royal Commission on the Church of England and Other Religious Buildings in Wales and Monmouthshire census), when it was valued at £2013

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
