commemoration, history has little to tell of the saint. The only extant life is a brief Welsh summary of about 1350 contained in the Book of the Anchorite of Llanddewi Brefi (ed. J. Morris-Jones and J.

artistry as a polished writer. He and
Rhys
Davies (one of the elders of the church) were co-authors of a history of Carmel (1921). He was a very popular preacher throughout Wales, and the congregations doted upon the beauty of his turn of phrase and his terse, brilliant sayings. No doubt it was because of this that he was chosen to deliver the (unpublished) Davies Lecture on ' Y ffordd dra rhagorol ' in

, Puritan preacher, under the Commonwealth
renewed in 1653, he was appointed to do definite pastoral work at S. Mary's in Swansea. There in 1658 happened the fierce altercation with the Quaker John

John who asked whether Bidwell was a true minister of Christ, and was struck in the face instead of getting an answer. He died before 1660, but a Royalist named Richard Seys had such an objection to his bones resting in the chancel of S. Mary's

as for Birchinshaw, says Myddelton, 'while he is capable of writing a good cywydd he will never learn one good habit.' Both of them, it seems, prefer making love to the fair sex, and tippling, and 'to procure gold they live as wandering minstrels.' On p. 182 of the same manuscript an englyn to

BLAYNEY
family Gregynog,
The family claimed descent from Brochwel Ysgythrog. The first member of the family about whom there is definite information is EVAN BLAYNEY, whose name appears eighteenth in the roll of burgesses found in the charter of Welshpool, 7 June, 7 Henry IV (1406), where he is described as 'of Tregynon.' His son, GRIFFITH

Rhys
ab Owain and the nobles of Ystrad Tywi contrived his death. The tragedy was much deplored in Mid Wales, and when his cousin, Trahaearn
ap
Caradog, defeated
Rhys
(1078) in the battle of Goodwick and drove him into headlong flight, it was held to have been signally avenged. High praise is bestowed upon Bleddyn by the chronicle which was now kept at

customs. For worship he had no use, but he found relief in composing metrical prayers, and there was a strong element of mysticism in his makeup. Though a professed Liberal he took little part in politics, but he gave years of valuable service on the county council. When the fourth national conference, circa 1893, failed to reach agreement on the matter, Bligh erected his own memorial to Llywelyn
