(1840–79) Clergyman whose diary, discovered in the 1930s, gives a detailed account of life in Wales in the 1870s. He was curate in Clyro and then St Harmon (both in Powys) before becoming vicar of Bredwardine (Hereford and Worcester). He died of peritonitis within a few weeks of marrying. His wife and a niece destroyed between them more of the diary than survives, though what remains (covering most of 1870–9) is in itself extensive.
