- Summary: The meeting house was occupied by the Baptists after the the Quakers had left. There is now a Baptist chapel just below this one. (Denbighshire Inventory - PI 27/06/1997).
"The house at Cefn, in which the Friends met after Rhuddallt Isaf was closed to them, and which, it is said, they themselves built as a meeting house, .....was subsequently let to the Baptists, and continued to be used by them until the existing [in 1888] Baptist Chapel at Cefn Bychan was built. It is a rather large building with unusually thick walls, and is now used as a dwelling house and butcher's shop. It stands by the roadside, between New Bridge and Cefn Bychan Railway Station, and adjoins the present Baptist Chapel. The upper storey probably formed the meeting room, while the ground floor was fitted up as a dwelling house. Some land belonged to it" (extract from A N Palmer, A history of the older nonconformity of Wrexham and its neighbourhood, (Wrexham: 1888), pp. 125-6).
Planning permission has been sought for demolition and residential development.

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

Dear Sara
