Philip Dafydd

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Philip Dafydd (c. 1732 – c. 1814) was a Welsh Methodist exhorter, and a poet.

Methodism[edit]

Dafydd lived in the Newcastle Emlyn area, and was by trade a clog maker. Before a local Methodist chapel was built there in 1776, he is known to have held regular society meetings at his own house.

Poetry[edit]

The poetical works of Dafydd include elegies on Daniel Rowland (printed in 1797) and William Williams Pantycelyn (printed in 1791).[1]
