Kinnersley is a small village in W Herefordshire, 11 miles WNW of Hereford and 5 miles E of the Welsh border. It is a centre for apple growing, but the village itself is compact, centred around the church and Kinnersley Castle, an Elizabethan house built on an older moated site. The church consists of a chancel, an aisled nave with N and S porches, and a tower at the W end of the N aisle. The N porch has been converted into a vestry. The chancel is 13thc, restored in the 19thc; the N nave arcade is of c.1300 and the S arcade, probably 15thc. The church was restored by T. Nicholson in 1867-69, and much of the interior is by G. F. Bodley (1873). The only Romanesque features are on the W wall of the nave; the doorway and a stringcourse above it.
