- Summary: Player's Bible Christian Chapel was first built as a corrugated-iron chapel in 1891 for the First Trinity Methodist Church (NPRN 10002). The tin chapel was moved to this site in 1904. By 2002 Player's chapel had been demolished.
'St. John's Anglican Welsh Church, in Court Road, Barry, first saw service in Penarth as "Playter's Tin Tabernacle". Reverend Playter was a curate of St. Augustine's with oversight at All Saint's, and preached controversial, but popular sermons, to which the Church authorities objected and deemed to be unacceptable, and he was asked to leave. In 1887 his many supporters decided to build a church for him to enable him to carry on his ministry. A few years later he was offered a post in London as a Unitarian minister and left Penarth. In 1891 Trinity Methodist Church bought the building and in 1897 it was sold to St. John's Anglican Welsh Church, and rebuilt on the Court Road site. In the 1950 it was used by the Loyal Order of Moose as a meeting place. After it was sold by the Order, it was altered and used as a stores. It was later demolished when fire gutted the premises, and flats are now situated on the site'

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
