Subject - "John Rhydderch (1675-1735): a Welshman in Shrewsbury"
Speaker - Stephen Jones
Venue - The Old Chapel Community Centre, Cross Houses, Nr Shrewsbury SY5 6JH
John Rhydderch was an early 18th century Shrewsbury printer and much
else besides: antiquary, astrologer, genealogist, grammarian,
lexicographer, poet, translator, and, it has been claimed, musician, as
well as one of those who brought the eisteddfod into the modern era. His
own ancestry presents a fascinating exercise in genealogical research.
The talk takes a close look at his birth and parentage, and goes on to
discuss his wider pedigree. It takes in a general look at his time in
Shrewsbury, and ends with an interesting incident from his life.
