HEATH, CHARLES (1761 - 1830), printer topography of Monmouthshire. Whilst the arrangement of the material in his books shows little sign of literary or critical judgement, his works were an invaluable source of information to later historians, including David Williams, archdeacon William Coxe, and Sir Joseph A. Bradney. His first publication was A Descriptive account of Raglan Castle, 1792. Other well-known works, of which several reached

teulu HERBERT Montgomery, Parke, Blackhall, Dolguog, Cherbury, Aston, , went as a youth to France to learn the language; the diplomatic missions ascribed to him there in Williams (The parliamentary history of the principality of Wales, 140), were really those of Sir John Herbert (1550 - 1617), but he went there in 1619 to prepare for his eldest brother's embassy. Introduced to the court by his kinsman William Herbert, 3rd earl of Pembroke, he became Master of the Revels
teulu HERBERT known as 'the Welsh lord' and twitted with the need for an interpreter (Cecil. xvi 439), and despite his Welsh chaplains, tutors and servants - including George Herbert, Griffith Williams (later bishop of Ossory), and Evan Lloyd Jeffrey of Palé (herald, bard, and genealogist) - his direct contacts with Wales were much slighter than those of his predecessors. The Civil War revealed that the Pembroke

Most of his family were Royalists, but his marriage to Mary, daughter of John Rudyard, grocer, of London (cousin to the opposition leader Sir Benjamin Rudyard), and perhaps an itch for the Raglan lands that had belonged to his ancestors, made him a
HEYCOCK, LLEWELLYN (LORD HEYCOCK OF TAIBACH), (1905 - 1990), prominent leader in local government in Glamorganshire erected as a memorial hall), Taliesin Mainwaring, Rees Llewellyn and Robert (Bob) Williams who fought unsuccessfully as the Labour candidate in the Aberavon constituency in the 'Khaki' Election of 1918.

HIMBURY, DAVID MERVYN (1922 - 2008), minister (Bapt) and college principal Cardiff Baptist College.

HOLLAND, ROBERT (1556/7 - 1622?), cleric, author, and translator Weston Colville; he was also schoolmaster at Dullingham, near Newmarket. His preferments in Wales are not easy to date with confidence (parish records are lacking), but both Stephen Hughes (in 1677) and Moses Williams make him parson of Llanddowror - this, presumably, would be before 1595. Again, though the list of Pembrokeshire parsons in West Wales Records contains not a single reference to Holland
HOOSON, HUGH EMLYN (1925 - 2012), Liberal politician and public figure advocacy of a Welsh Assembly during 1978-79.

A ninety-nine year Liberal
