Summary
[edit]DescriptionClwch Dernog Farm - geograph.org.uk - 1359597.jpg |
English: Clwch Dernog Farm This farm is also known as Cnwch Dernog. The farm's name is associated with William Prichard (1702-1773), the Calvinist firebrand. Born at Llanarmon in Caernarvonshire he received a good education and became the tenant farmer of the large Glasfryn Fawr Farm at Llangybi 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. Passing Caertyddyn cottage he heard the Dissenter Francis Evans praying 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. 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, SH4869, 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 here 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 |
