- Summary: Sardis Independent Chapel in Bodfford is a typical small and simple late nineteenth-century single-storey chapel. The cause began in 1814 and the first chapel was built in that year. The chapel was enlarged in 1824, repaired or restored in 1846 and again in 1865. A major rebuild was completed in 1895 and the resulting structure, which survives today, is single-storey with Simple Round-Headed windows.

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
