PARRY, GRIFFITH (1827 - 1901), Calvinistic Methodist minister, and author , 1887-91. He was a remarkably polished preacher, a writer of distinction, and a voracious reader. He wrote much in the Traethodydd and the Y Drysorfa, and some of the most important articles in (both editions of) Y Gwyddoniadur were his work - he also published commentaries.

PARRY, JAMES RHYS (fl. 1570?-1625?), poet and author of a Welsh metrical version of the Psalms may have been living at Michael Church Escle, Herefordshire; the dates of his birth and death have not been ascertained. James Parry is remembered because he essayed a metrical version of some of the Psalms in Welsh - in free metre - and because there is evidence that his version was seen by Edmund Prys, archdeacon of Merioneth, before the Salmau by the latter were published in 1621. This
PARRY, JOSHUA (1719 - 1776), Nonconformist minister, and writer was a literary (and a social) figure, rather than a theologian, and Edmund Jones in 1770 speaks slightingly of him. He is noticed in D.N.B., in an article based mainly on the Memoir (1872) written by his grandson Charles Henry Parry. Joshua Parry had notable descendants. His eldest son, CALEB HILLIER PARRY (1755 - 1822), was a physician of great repute at Bath [he is repeatedly mentioned in Jane

In 1940, he married Mona, the only daughter of Richard Morgan, a deacon at Siloa.

PARRY, ROBERT WILLIAMS (1884 - 1956), poet, university lecturer ', ' Mae hiraeth yn y môr ', ' Cysur Henaint ', ' Gadael Tir ', and those which deal directly with the war, like ' Y Cantîn Gwlyb ' and ' Y Ddrafft '. But he retained his love of cynghanedd, as can be seen in the memorial englynion to friends and acquaintances, and especially to those who fell in battle, like the famous sequence to Hedd Wyn (Ellis Humphrey Evans). The years between the wars were very
PARRY, Sir THOMAS (1904 - 1985), scholar, Librarian of the National Library of Wales, University Principal, poet Emrys Evans as Principal of Bangor, a man with whom he'd worked 'closely and most amicably' for many years, and one who had shown him much sympathy and help when 'he was a conscientious objector during the war'. No doubt the governors at Bangor didn't want to show him that sympathy. In Aberystwyth he had to reshape the ship after Goronwy Rees's unorthodox captaincy; he had to preside over the

A. Glenn, Newmarket Notes, ii, 20), and a nephew who went to Carmarthen Academy. David Peter says that Perrot was taught by William Evans (died 1718) at Carmarthen - this would seem (as Perrot's name does not appear in the Academy lists) to refer to Evans's
