- Summary: Blaen-y-Cefn Methodist Chapel was built in 1808, rebuilt in 1837, altered in 1869 and the interior remodelled in 1884. It started as early as 1744, being held in Ffrwdwenith Farm. The present chapel, dated 1837, was built in the Simple Round-Headed style of the long-wall entry type. There are 2 simple doorways, one at either end of the elevation, with simple flat headed 12 pane sash windows above. These flank a pair of tall round headed windows either side of a plaque. The main elevation is unrendered stone.
Large enough for a congregation of 300 in 1905 (Royal Commission on the Church of England and Other Religious Buildings in Wales and Monmouthshire census), when it was valued at £900.
Blaen-y-Cefn is now Grade 2 listed as a good example of a chapel which retains its period character. - Description: Cause begun 1744 & chapel built 1808; rebuilt 1837, repaired 1869 & 1884. Built in simple round-headed style, long-wall entry type. Status (1998): in chapel use.

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
