Hi Karen,
To my knowledge there is not a Carmel Chapel in Crickhowell Parish.
There are however, Carmel Chapels as follows
Carmel Chapel Beaufort and Carmel Chapel Dukestown both of which are in
Llangynidr Parish
Carmel Chapel Daren-Felen which is in Llanelly Parish
These 3 chapels are in the industrial south east of what was Breconshire,
but is now Monmouthshire.
Look carefully at the marriage certificate to see what it actually says
about the location of the Chapel. If you want to send me a scan of the
certificate, to my e-mail address, then please do so, and I'll see if I can
pick up any clues on the certificate as to the location of the chapel.
Once we have pinned down the exact location, I can advise you further as
regards getting there from Crickhowell.
Best wishes,
Hilary Williams

===================
I've been trying to find this particular chapel on the web. I believe it
still exists, but I did find an article that said a lot of Welsh chapels
were going up for sale. My great-grandparents, Benjamin and Margaret
Davies, were married here in 1840, I do have a copy of their marriage
certificate.
I wonder if anyone has a good picture of the chapel ? Also, I am planning a
trip to Wales next spring or summer on a tour and will be lodging in
Crickhowell in the beginning of the tour. I am wondering how far the chapel
is from Crickhowell and if I get to Crickhowell a day early if it would be
hard to get a taxi to the chapel?
Also, I know my great-grandfather was born in Crickhowell. Are there any
records available in Crickhowell for this area's births/baptisms?
Thanks
Karen Chila
