Simple rectangular gabled chapel of limestone rubble with finely-tooled limestone dressings. The front and left side (NW) have grey roughcast; slate roof with plain bargeboards. Symmetrical facade with tall paired, arched windows to the centre and arched flanking entrances. The windows have original 18-pane recessed and unhorned sashes with segmentally-glazed heads; limestone voussoirs and projecting stone cills.

The sides each have 3x18-pane square-headed windows, as before, those to the NW replacements. At the rear is a single-storey early C20 extension of rubble with pitched slate roof; this has a boarded door and a 6-pane window to the L, with a plain brick external chimney. Flanking this are later C20 low WC extensions. Two original E end windows, as before.

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
