The chapl is stone built in the Lombardic/Italian and Sub-Classical style with a gable-entry plan and flanking turrets.

The road name was formerly Eldon Street (OS 6" map 1900),hence its original name. It had become the Calvary Baptist by 1953 (OS 1:1250 map 1953).

MAIN NOTEWORTHY FEATURE of MAIN BUILDING / COMPLEX:
Two storey gabled structure in Blue pennant sandstone with hall building at rightangles to rear (now completely adapted and separately funtioning as South Riverside Community Development Centre.)
Possible that the hall building, date stone 1897, was built first: slightly taller building with first floor windows at a higher level than chapel, although styles very similar. Any straight joints masked by pilaster. Was a fire in 1987 when the chapel roof was renewed and the baptistery refurbished.
Main façade with Classical Italianate overtones in round headed, ashlar moulded centre door, surmounted by large, round headed window containing part rectangular, part completely circular tracery motif. Pediment formed by ashlar banding between two ashlar pinnacles completing variously rectangular, semi-octagonal and finned sandstone buttresses. Two, or three light to lateral elevations, windows with semi-circular heads to first floor, rectangular to ground floor.
Rhythmical lateral elevations divided by shallow pilasters commencing at junction between building forms. - Chapel Built: 1897 Source:RCCEORBWM

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
