- Summary: The cause at Bethel began in 1818 and the first chapel built in 1827. The present structure is built parallel to the road with a cross gable at one end and seems to consist of the chapel of 1827 with rather idiosyncratic additions in 1910. These include a prominent tower on the road side of the entrance, in the gable end, and elaborate hood moulds over the otherwise simple round-headed windows with gothic 'Y' tracery. The tower includes rooms and has flat headed windows and a short pyramidal spire. In 2003 Bethel was still in use as a chapel.

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
