- Summary: Tabernacl Welsh Baptist Chapel was originally built in 1817, but later rebuilt in 1847/8 to the design of Samuel Jones of Brymbo. It was later enlarged in 1850, and rebuilt once more in 1865. It is in the Classical style, constructed of uncoursed sandstone blocks with rusticated quoins and a pitched slate roof. It was originally entered via a central doorway in the pedimented gable facade, flanked by segmentally-headed windows on the ground floor, round-headed above, and with a round-headed datestone in the gable apex. The side elevations similarly have segmented-headed windows below, and round-headed windows above. The upper windows on the front elevation have continous hoodmoulds, while all have keystones. The chapel is no longer in use and has been converted into a domestic dwelling, and so all glazing is modern, together with further alterations including the addition of a basement-level garage. All internal fixtures and fittings were lost as a result of the conversion.

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
