Summary
[edit]DescriptionBodlew Farmhouse - geograph.org.uk - 839897.jpg |
English: Bodlew Farmhouse The much persecuted 18thC Nonconformist firebrand William Prichard (1702-1773) was tenant here until he was forced out by his neighbours. Born at Llanarmon in Caernarvonshire SH4239 Prichard received a good education and became the tenant farmer of the large Glasfryn Fawr Farm near Pencaenewydd SH3941. One Sunday, after church, as was his wont, Prichard got himself plastered at Ty'n Llan (the ale house within the church enclosure, the profits of which went to the rector), but instead of going straight home he staggered around the village of Llangybi SH4241. Passing Caertyddyn cottage he heard the Dissenter Francis Evans praying aloud for the village drunks. This led to Prichard's conversion and he joined the Pwllheli Dissenting Congregation. He then started a school for the village children at Glasfryn Fawr Farm. Soon, malicious tales about Prichard emanating from the pulpit of Llangybi church forced the family to flee to Anglesey. There Prichard obtained the tenancy of Plas Penmynydd (the birthplace of the Tudor Dynasty), SH4975, but before long the vicar of Llanffinan was urging local ruffians to harras the family and the landlord was persuaded to evict them. They then moved to Bodlew, Llanddaniel where again they suffered persecution and eviction. Hearing of the plight of Prichard and his family, William Bulkeley the squire-diarist of Brynddu, Llanfechell,SH3791, offered him the tenancy of Clwchdernog. Although, a loyal Anglican, Bulkeley was a man who cherished fair play and hated sectarian bullying and intimidation. Prichard lived there unmolested from 1749 until his death in 1773, a period in which in which he was the moving force behind the establishment of dissenting congregations in N.W. Anglesey
