 LORD GEORGE MURRAY, 
 
 Lorp BisHop oF St. Davip’s. 
 
 MY LORD, 
 
 W uen I consider that Iam 
 addressing a personage so eminently con- 
 spicuous in literature as your Lordship, it 
 fills me with the strongest apprehensions 
 of my being found incompetent to the 
 task I have undertaken, of giving a de- 
 scription, worthy to meet your Lordship’s 
 
 eyes, 
 
GW 
 eyes, of St. David’s; a place so long ce- 
 lebrated for ecclesiastical antiquity: yet, 
 defective as this attempt may appear, I 
 could not with propriety address it to any 
 
 other Patron than your Lordship. 
 
 My reason for compiling this account 
 was, that, by an innocent, if not useful, 
 pursuit, I might expel from my mind a. 
 melancholy, the effect of heavy calamities, — 
 by which it had long been oppressed; a 
 consideration sufficient, I ‘trust, to in- 
 fluence all of a serious and devout disposi- 
 
 tion to overlook its faults. 
 
 To your Lordship, therefore, as pos- _ 
 sessing in the highest degree those quali- 
 ties, I presume to inscribe my Work; 
 
 a 
 
 confident 
 
( vi ) 
 confident of this only, that the mere en- 
 deavour to deserve, is a step towards ob- 
 
 taining, your Lordship’s protection. 
 
 _J have the honour to be, 
 With the Pee profound respect, 
 _ My Lorp, 
 Your Lordship’s most humble, 
 
 and most devoted Servant, 
 
 G. W. MANBY.

 piers from the earliest 
 
 Pine Ponies ane 
 
 appellation given to it 
 jaracteristic of its appear- 
 _Divid implies a region a-

 as the country extends into the 
 Beek ae seas, 
 
 ir a whole of Caermarthen- | 
 
( 2) 
 seas, divided nearly in the middle by Milford- 
 Haven, into which innumerable streams dis- 
 charge themselves. The word is, by some, sup- 
 posed to be derived from Davad, signifying 
 sheep, with which the country did formerly 
 
 abound. 
 
 Dimitia was a regular kingdom, as appears, at 
 the invasion of Julius Czsar; for he was put to . 
 flight by Morgan king of Dimitia, aided by 
 Broghmael king of Powis-land. It preserved it- 
 self asa kingdom till it was wrested from the re- 
 gal possessors by Earl Strongbow, who subdued 
 that country: for, until the arrival of Strongbow, - 
 the county of Dyvett never yielded to the arms 
 of Romans, Saxons, Danes, or Normans; nor 
 were the antient inhabitants disturbed in any of 
 their possessions, although interrupted by skir- 
 mishes on land, or by spoilers from the sea. 
 
 After the coming of Strongbow, the city of 
 Saint David’s, and the territories thereunto -be- 
 longing, were still held sacred, continuing under 
 the same masters as before; the conquerors re- 
 garding it as holy land, consecrated to the servants 
 ; of 
 
tn ab 
 
 of God: it, therefore, was accounted impiety a- 
 mong them to offer violence to any land or peo- 
 ple in the possession of the church. 
 
 Saint David's is situated on the most western 
 part of the island, in Pembrokeshire; forming a 
 high promontory, antiently called Octopitarum ; 
 "ie. a land both rocky and barren; by the Bri- 
 tons, Pebidoig Cantre Dervi.. It is bounded 
 by Saint Bride’s Bay on the south, and Saint 
 George’s Channel on the west. The earliest in- 
 habitants traced were the Britons; and the place 
 considered of the greatest consequence, having 
 been a principal residence of the Druids; many 
 vestiges of whose monuments, dedicated to va- 
 rious purposes, are still remaining; exhibiting 
 
 pectacles truly awful, and raising in the mind 
 
 emotions of admiration at those wonderful piles, 
 erected apparently by almost more than human 
 power. ‘To them was ever paid the profoundest 
 reverence ; nor any sacred rite performed, with- 
 out their discharging all important duties, reveal- 
 ing the hidden secrets of nature, instilling and en- 
 forcing a true sense of their God. They never 
 ceased to pay their adoration to those luminaries, 
 B2 the 
 
Sie 
 
 the sun, moon, and other planets; by whose re- 
 volutions they divided and proportioned their 
 time ; filling the solemn orders of Divines, Judges, 
 
 Philosophers and Astronomers. 
 
 The country has many traces of antient eh-— 
 trenchments; but by whom erected, history is 
 silent—their appearance being the only memorial. — 
 They are all constructed with admirable labour 
 and skill; nor has any ingenuity been spared to 
 give them every possible strength and advantage. 
 A beautiful one, of a circular form, presents it- 
 self about a quarter of a mile west of the town, 
 
 on the summit of a bank; having a high mound, 
 or rampart; a deep, broad ditch; with an out- 
 port on the north: it is open to the south, with 
 a running stream in its rear. From its structure 
 and situation, it has been concluded to be a work 
 of the Romans; for, whenever they could obtain 
 it, they made choice of a spot on the declivity of 
 a hill, near a river, and facing the meridian sun, 
 
 as commanding strength, prospect, and water. 
 
 At the zra of Christianity, its name appears to 
 have been A/fenevia. Various have been the 
 opinions 
 
Ce. 
 
 opinions relative to the derivation of that word: 
 the one most acknowledged is from Man-yw, 
 signifying small yews, which formerly grew 
 here in great numbers. In the Celtic language, 
 it is found that the derivation of places was al- 
 ways significant, and descriptive, either of situa- 
 1ion, property or appearance, as before observed. 
 Yewn isa Yew-tree in Welch; and Junen, in 
 the Armoric, or language of Bas Britany. Yw 
 is the plural in Welch, and Juin in Armoric ; 
 which show it to have been an old Celtic word; 
 and, as there were certainly small yews about 
 this place, we need look no further for the rea- 
 son of itsname: though others say it comes from 
 Menyw, which signifies a Woman; to account 
 for which, the following traditionary story:is re- 
 lated. 
 
 In the time of the Arch-Flamins, there was a 
 great company of votaries, addicted wholly to a 
 solitary life, in this place. ‘There happened, at 
 that period, an invasion, in which all the men 
 were either killed; or drawn from their homes, in 
 the defence of their country. ‘The women, there- 
 
 fore, in the absence of their husbands, flew to the 
 
 monks 
 
(a3 
 
 monks for protection; who, hearing of their ap- 
 proach, shut the gates against them, and cried 
 out, Menyw! Menyw! “« a Woman! a Wo- 
 man!” from which, some say, the place was ‘so 
 
 called. 
 
 But this story is reputed to have an original 
 flaw in it, which makes it etymologically confute 
 itself ; for Benyw jis the radical Welch word, 
 signifying a woman, and any female, in Cornish, 
 is Benen, and, in Irish, Bean. Now, it is pe- 
 culiar to the languages which are of the Celtic 
 ‘extraction, that the initial letter of the words 
 vary in construction from what they are in their 
 originals. Words that begin with B, are pro- 
 nounced according to the sound of the radical, 
 when they occur singly, and are joined with no 
 - other words in a sentence, as in the case before © 
 us; at other times, B is changed into M, or FE 
 which is the Welch V consonant, as the case re- 
 quires. It therefore should have been Benevia, 
 and not Menevia, if this story had been accurate. 
 
 Another attempt to account for it is this:— - 
 There is, not far from Saint David's, a place at 
 this 
 
 - 
 
(>) 
 this day called Melin-Melew, (Meneus-Mill,) 
 wherein is preserved the old denomination ; but 
 the original meaning of the word Menew is now 
 lost, and not to be retrieved. 7 However, it is re- 
 commended to the curious in Ireland and Scot- 
 land, (where the names of places agree much with 
 those in Wales,) to consider whether it may not 
 signify Frith, or Narrow Sea; for we find the 
 channel between Caernarvonshire and the Isle of 
 Anglesey to be called Aber-Menew ; and as there 
 is also a fretum, called a sound, between this 
 place and Ramsey Island, it may bear some affi- 
 
 nity. 
 
 Saint David’s is reputed to have been a cele- 
 brated monastery, since the first introduction of 
 Christianity ; and founded by St. Patrick, in the 
 year 470, in gratitude for Saint David’s haying 
 been the place of his birth. Here all the holy 
 brethren assembled, for the comfort of a solitary 
 life ;. as they had been interrupted in their religi- 
 ous duties by the great concourse of people at- 
 tending them: in this place they lived happily, 
 intent upon these four exercises—labour, reading, 
 
 prayer, 
 
( a) 
 
 prayer, and relieving the poor; it was also con- 
 sidered the ‘retiring place and nursery of the 
 Saints ; and this monastery was dedicated to Saint 
 
 Andrew. 
 
 In the year 546 this place was established a 
 Metropolitan See in the British Church, and a 
 long time the Supreme Ordinary of the Welch, in 
 the first planting of the Gospel in King Lucius’s 
 time, when there were only three Archbishops’ 
 Sees appointed, viz. London, York, and Carleon 
 upon Uske: That of Carleon was in the time of 
 Arthur king of the Britons, who translated it 
 further from the Saxon fury to Menew or Me- 
 nevia, whichis reputed to have been its ori- 
 ginal name; but, ever since, in memory of 
 David, the Archbishop, it has been called Saint 
 David's. 
 
 This renowned Saint David, the patron and 
 titular Saint of Wales, was son of Zantus prince 
 of Wales, and uncle to King Arthur; who re- 
 moved the Archiepiscopal See from Carleon, in 
 Monmouthshire, to this place; where he built a_ 
 
 cathedral, 
 
Lmao 
 
 éathédral, and became its first archbishop ; after 
 whose death it was dedicated to him, and the city 
 
 took his name. 
 
 Twenty-five archbishops have been appointed 
 ‘to this See. The last, whose name was Samson, 
 left it in the time of a pestilential disease, which 
 raged here in the year 915: he transferred the 
 -archiepiscopal pall, and, with the same, the 
 archiepiscopal dignity, to Dole in Brittany: yet 
 his successors, though they lost the name, reserv~ 
 ed the power of an archbishop; nor did the re- 
 sidence of the Welch bishops receive their con- 
 secration from any other hands than theirs. They 
 were Primates of Wales, and continued to exer- 
 cise their archiepiscopal jurisdiction over its suf- 
 fragan bishops, Worcester, Hereford, St. Asaph, 
 Bangor, and Landaff, until the reign of King 
 Henry the First, when Bernard; a Norman, 
 was violently forced into that See by the King, 
 in the year 1115. He meanly surrendered his 
 archiepiscopal powers to the See of Canterbury. 
 This gave rise to a violent dispute between the 
 King and the Archbishop, about the place where 
 the Bishop elect of Saint David’s ought to be 
 
 | C consecrated ; 
 
( 10) 
 
 consecrated; in which the policy of the Prine. 
 was obliged to yield to the pertinacity of the Pre- 
 late, with whom it has continued ever since. 
 
 No place has been visited by more distresses 
 than the cathedral and city of Saint David's. In 
 the year 808, in the reign of Canon Tindacthwy, 
 Saint David’s was laid in ashes by the West Sax- 
 ons: this calamity did not end here; as it was 
 followed by a general and very grievous murrain 
 -of cattle, which impoverished the whole country. | 
 Superstition was a prevailing characteristic in 
 those days. These calamities, they say, were 
 prognosticated the preceding year by a total 
 eclipse of the sun ; and, on Christmas-day, by one 
 
 of the moon. 
 
 Saint David's was subjected to still greater dis- 
 tresses by the invasion of the Danes, in the year 
 911, in the reign of Anarawd, who destroyed the 
 whole city. - At this time a famous battle was 
 fought near this place; in which Maylor, son of 
 Peridar Gam, one of the Welch princes, was 
 
 slain. 
 
 In 982, during the reign of .Howel ap 
 Jevaf, Geofryd, son to King Harold, despoiled all 
 the... 
 
( wey 
 the land, and the church of Saint Davic. In 993, 
 in the reign of Meredith ap Owen, the Danés re-_ 
 turned, and destroyed all before them with fire 
 and sword ; at which time they killed Morgency, 
 or Urgency, bishop of the diocese. Prince Me- 
 redith ever bore the greatest respect and venera- 
 tion to this place, where the peaceful remains of 
 his two sons were entombed: on being informed 
 of the barbarities exercised there by the Danes, 
 and being unable to repel their insolences, he 
 was so afflicted that he died of grief. 
 
 In 1077, in the reign of Trahaern ap Caradoc, 
 it greatly suffered by strangers, said to be Nor- 
 wegians, though generally supposed to be Danes: 
 they landed in great numbers, sacked and de- 
 _stroyed the whole town. ' 
 
 In 1087, in thetreign of Griffith ap Coran, a 
 remarkable sacrilege was committed here; the 
 shrine belonging to the cathedral was pillaged, and 
 all the plateand othervaluable utensils taken away. 
 
 A few years after, Saint David’s suffered a 
 more sensible calamity, by the memorable inva- 
 
 C2 sion 
 
(12) 
 
 sion of the Danes, who plundered and burnt the 
 church, settled here some time, taking possession 
 of the ie renchments: around: they ravaged every 
 
 slace, and mur ered every one in their way. The a

 was wrested from them by Alfred the Great. To

 though now Saint Andrew is totally omitted, and it . 
 bears‘the name of Saint David only: a great part 
 of it was thrown down, in the year 1248, by an 
 earthquake. 
 
 The See of Saint David’s has had 116 Arch- 
 bishops and Bishops. Among whom it is reput- 
 ed to have had one Saint, three Lord Chancellors | 
 of England, one Lord Treasurer, one Lord Privy 
 Seal, one Chancellor of the University of Oxford, 
 and one Chancellor toa Queen. [It is a privilege 
 peculiar to this church, that the King and its 
 Archbishop are Prebendarics thereof.

 A close, near a mile in compass, walled about 
 with stone, surrounds a spacious church-yard, 
 the cathedral, Saint Mary’s college, and houses 
 belonging to the dignitaries ; having, on its west, 
 a little river called Allan running with hasty 
 course through it ; crossing which, you come to 
 the west front of the cathedral, which is 76 feet 
 broad: ni the middle is a large door, called the 
 Bishop's door, because the bishop always enters 
 there. The west front has been rebuilt ; and, by 
 the means adopted to give it strength, exhibits a 
 
 beautiful 
 
( 14 ) 
 
 beautiful specimen of architecture; though the» 
 great contrast between the antient and modern 
 stiles offends the eye: and, when it wanders, and 
 discovers that a soft mouldering stone has been 
 made companion to a most durable one, merely to 
 avoid a little additional expence and labour, we 
 cannot but lament that such a consideration had 
 any weight with those who had the direction of 
 it. The body, consisting of the nave and two 
 side aisles, is covered with lead, and in exceeding 
 good repair. The roof of the nave is finely ciel- 
 ed with Irish oak, having B-t-warl ornaments: 
 suspended ; it is muons and deservedly admired, 
 still looking well, though the hand of time has 
 made considerable TABS) in it. 
 
 From the west door to the steeple is 124 feet: 
 long; and 32 feet broad, from centre to centre’ 
 of the pillars, which support the nave, and part. 
 it from the side aisles. The pillars, which are 
 very thick, are covered by beautiful Saxon arches, 
 ranged on each side, being five in number; dis- 
 playing different wreathes, with two pilasters of 
 Gothic work, adjoining to the western wall, at 
 one end, and at the other is the rood or organ- 
 
 loft. 
 
 “N 
 
( 15) 
 
 loft. Between the pillars are six arches on either 
 side, exactly parallel to each other: over every 
 one of these are two lesser arches reaching to 
 the roof; and under each of these lesser arches 
 
 are two smaller ones, resting immediately on the 
 
 great arches. 
 
 /#s you enter the nave, at the north-west cor- 
 ner, there was formerly a consistorial court, en- 
 closed by a fine screén of wood, which has been 
 taken down many years: towards the south is 
 the font, of stone; and near it stands a stone,’ 
 about three feet high, having a rough base, hollow- 
 ed at the top, part of which is broken off: some 
 characters are upon its side; but time, and the im- 
 proper custom of washing it with lime, have so far 
 obliterated them, as to prevent all possibility of 
 their being decyphered : the most probable use of 
 
 ~ this relick of antiquity has been that of a font. 
 
 Near the rood-loft, which is over the entrance 
 anto the choir, where, in most cathedrals, the 
 organ stands, is the pulpit, in which the service 
 is performed in Welch. Under the rood-loft is 
 Bishop Morgan’s tomb, of free stone : his effigies 
 
 at 
 
(. oF ) 
 
 vat fall length in his pont/ icalibus ; the face is 
 mangled: as are the faces, more or less, upon 
 every monument in the church. On the sides 
 are. images of our Saviour and his Apostles, much 
 defaced; at the foot is a sculpture of basso- 
 telievo, but exceedingly mutilated; it seems to 
 represent the Resurrection. Near this monument. 
 of Bishop Morgan, at the foot of the ascent to 
 the choir, are two marble stones, which have ne 
 inscriptions; supposed to have belonged to Wool- . 
 cock and Rider, masters of Saint Mary’s college. 
 At the upper end or the south aisle is a monu- 
 ment, said to have belonged to one of the canons, 
 but without any inscription. The length of. the 
 rood or organ-loft extends from centre to centre 
 of the pillars in the nave; it is a beautiful build- 
 ing, of a reddish stone, the produce of Caer fai. 
 Towards the south end is the monument of 
 Bishop Gower, under an arch of stone, very 
 finely wrought, which takes up in length the 
 whole breadth of the rood-loft. Before the Re- 
 bellion, it was inclosed to the south and west 
 with a brass. palisade; upon the face of which 
 was this inscription, in old characters: “ Hie 
 
 “* Jacet 
 
Cm) 
 
 *« jacet Henricus Gower, structor palatii, et hujus 
 ** ecclesia Menevensis archiepiscopus qui obiit.” 
 The Rebels took away that, and all the brass upon 
 the other tombs in this church; and now there 
 are wooden rails in lieu of the brass_palisade. 
 His effigies lies at length in his episcopal robes. 
 
 _Parallel to Bishop Gower’s monument, next to 
 the ascent which leads up to the choir, lies a simi- 
 lar one, under a handsome arch, but less than that 
 which covers Bishop Gower. Opposite the lesser | 
 monument, and parallel to it, on the north side 
 of the rood-loft, is another, of like dimensions, i in 
 pontificalibus, under an arch. Neither of these 
 monuments have any inscription: they are sup- 
 posed to have been erected for two Bishops of 
 Saint David’s ; though they have a tradition here, 
 that one belongs to a chancellor, or a chantor, and 
 the other to a treasurer of this church : the names 
 being lost, their identity has not been deter- 
 mined. ‘These monuments lie under the rood, Or 
 
 organ-loft. 102 to 22Y9 ori?’ 
 
 "19 a8} oy¥ 1¥ ob 
 oe the wall of the south aisle, under a window 
 
 facing the rood-loft, is an image, much. defaced, 
 
 D having 
 
(46 > 
 
 having the sacerdotal tonsure: it has no inscrip~ 
 tion; but remains to perpetuate the fame of 
 Giraldus Cambriensis, the celebrated Welch his- 
 torian, and bishop of this diocese. In the south 
 aisle, near the west end, is a door which is en- 
 tered from the porch; over which is a chamber, 
 wherein the vicars-choral, who are a body corpo- 
 rate, hold their chapters. Opposite the porch is 
 the north door; and over it, a most beautiful 
 Saxon arch; through which leads to St. Mary’s 
 college, and the residences of the subordinate 
 members of the church: which is called the Valley. 
 
 Near the west door lies the body of the Rev. 
 Nicholas Roberts, one of the vicars of this ca- 
 thedral, who died Sept. 28, 1799. The solemn 
 ceremony of his interment was attended by all 
 his neighbours, of whom the writer of this was 
 one, to pay the last tribute to his memory. Anu- 
 merous assemblage of the poor closed the mourn- 
 ful procession. The tear of grief stood trembling in 
 the eyes of some of them, which in others stole 
 down their pallid cheeks, moistening the earth 
 which was soon to cover his lamented body. 
 These unfeigned tokens of respect and regret 
 
 convinced 
 
( 19 ) 
 
 convinced me, that if he had a fault, it was lost 
 
 - in the lustre of his virtues. 
 
 There are no monuments in the north aisle, 
 excepting one at the east end of the wall, of Bird 
 a sculptor, who executed Treasurer Lloyd’s mo- 
 nument in the chancel. The aisles are 18 feet 
 broad each, and of the same length as the nave. 
 The ascent inie the choir, out of the body of the 
 church, is by three steps, which lead to the rood- 
 loft ; two steps more carry you under the loft, 
 and three more lead into the choir. The choir 
 takes up the area of the steeple; it is exactly 26 
 feet square within, from wall to wall: its tower 
 is finely carved with fret-work ; and, like many 
 of the English cathedrals, the Gothic ornaments 
 of the choir contrast the Saxon pillars and arches 
 of the great aisle, so tastily combined, as to bear 
 ample testimony to the perfection architecture 
 had arrived at in that age, and justly claiming our 
 admiration. 
 
 On the left side, facing the altar, are three 
 Stalls: Precentoris, Archidiaconi de Brecon, 
 Praebend. Sancti Nicolai.—On the north side 
 
 D2 aire 
 
( 20 ) 
 
 are nine Stalls, inscribed thus: Langan-Cursa- 
 lis, Cursalis, Succentoris, Cursalis, Cursalis, 
 Caer fai, Archidiac. de Cardigan, Auria, Tre- 
 surarii.—On the right side, facing the altar, -are 
 three Stalls; Dom. Episcopi, Archidiaconi Me- 
 nevensis, Landuir.—On the south side are nine 
 Stalls: Cursalis, Treflvdn, Vicarii Episcopi, 
 Cursalis, Cursalis, Cluden, Caer Farchell, 
 Archidiac. de Caermarthen, Cancellarii.—In 
 all 24 Stalls. . | 
 
 The Stalls are handsome, and the well-design- 
 ed and executed painted-back is much admired ; 
 in each Stall, and under each seat, appear, when 
 turned up, figures carved in relievo in the wood, 
 which still look well ; many of the most singular 
 device ; and some, sorry am [ to relate it, contain- 
 ing representations utterly unsuitable to a holy 
 edifice. 
 
 The organ, before the Rebellion, stood in the

 On the north and south sides of the steeple are’ 
 two large cross aisles. ‘The north cross: aisle is 
 called Saint Andrew’s chapel ; it is 44 feet north 
 and south, and 30 feet east and west: in this aisle, 
 under two defaced monuments of marble, or ala- 
 baster, lie two canons, whose names were Powell: 
 and, under the organ-loft, in the same aisle, are, 
 
 two others belonging to two other canons. 
 
 There are likewise deposited in this chapel the 
 sacred remains of some other members of the 
 church, erected on neat pedestals of masonry, as 
 tributes to their memories who are gone to receive 
 
 the reward of their well-spent lives. 
 
 There has lately been discovered in this chapel, . 
 by removing some rubbish, arepresentation of its 
 Saint, but so defaced that the features are lost, 
 and only the bare traces of his form and insignia 
 remain ; near‘it is placed a very remarkable re- 
 presentation, which was found at the same time, 
 and appears well worthy the attention of the an- 
 tiquary ; it is much mutilated, but what remains 
 represents a demon offering a child to a venerable 
 person at an altar: its singularity forbids the 
 
 hazard 
 
 a 
 
( 22 ) 
 
 hazard of an opinion on a subject so abstruse: 
 there are other representations, but much der 
 faced, of a crucifix, and other saints. 
 
 Under the organ-loft, at the back of the stalls, 
 was a small room, used formerly as a peniten- 
 tiary; here the penitents stood; and in the wall 
 are small round holes, which let in the sound of 
 those who officiated in the choir, for the benefit 
 
 of the penitents. 
 
 The south cross aisle, called the Chanters — 
 Chapel, is 44 feet north and south, and 26 east 
 and west. In this chapel are some very neat 
 inscriptions in marble, to the memories of the 
 deceased. In the south-east end of it, is a stair- 
 case which goes up to the steeple, and leads 
 quite round it within. Beyond the area of the 
 steeple, which properly constitutes the choir, is 
 a large space between the altar rails, known by 
 the name of the Chancel. On the south side, be- 
 tween the choir and the screen of the chancel, is . 
 the Bishop’s throne, under an arch or pavilion 
 of wood, handsomely carved, painted and gilt; 
 it has three seats, subdivided like stalls; the 
 
 middle 
 
( 23 ) 
 ‘middle one is higher and larger than the other 
 two. 
 
 '. The chancel reaches from the steeple to the 
 east end of the altar, and is divided by cancelli, 
 or low rails, from the choir; it is in length 54 
 ‘feet, and in breadth 31 feet; it was, some time 
 ago, in agitation to have the cancelli removed ; 
 which would have added much grandeur to the 
 chancel. 
 
 In the area stands the tomb of the illustrious - 
 Edmund earl of Richmond, father to King Henry 
 _ the Seventh ; the flat stone at top is of a very 
 beautiful blue marble, spotted with white grains; 
 the marble is the produce of the country, and 
 bears a very fine polish ; but is so hard, that un- 
 derstanding men, in that profession, declare that 
 marble may be brought from Genoa, wrought, 
 and set up in this country, cheaper than if they 
 used their own marble; it had once a brass 
 image, near the full length; and four escutcheons 
 at the four corners, all of brass; with a plate of 
 the same metal about the rim, or verge, on which 
 was this inscription in antient characters ;— 
 * Under 
 
( 24 ) 
 
 - Under this marble stone, here enclosed, rest the 
 “* bones of that noble Lord, Edmund earl of Rich- 
 “‘ mond, father and brother to Kings, who depart- 
 “ed out of this world in the year 1456, the first 
 “day of November; on whose soul, Almighty 
 « Jesu have mercy !’”—And on the tomb was, in 
 
 the same characters, ’ 
 
 * Heu! Regum Genitor et Frater, splendidus Heros, 
 * Omnis quo micuit Regia Virtus, obit. 
 
 * Herculeus Comes Ille tuus, Richmondia Duxque

 © Ejus Spiritui Lucida Regna Poti.’ 
 
 This was entirely picked out by the Rebels; the 
 brass nails are every where visible, hy which 
 they were cramped into the stone. 
 
 On the sides of the monument, which are all 
 faced with stone, are four escutcheons, with the 
 arms of the Tudors and the Royal arms inter- 
 
 mixed ; 
 
( 25 ) 
 
 mixed ; but so defaced by time, the sides being 
 of a softer stone than the table at top, that they 
 are scarcely discernible. Its height is 4 feet, its 
 breadth 3 feet and a half, and its length 8 feet 
 In the chancel, on the south side, near the wall, 
 on the ground, next the throne, lies Bishop. 
 Jowerth; he is represented in his episcopal 
 robes, with his mitre and pastoral staff. Next 
 him, in thesame manner, lies Bishop Anselm ; 
 on whose tomb is said to have been formerly 
 
 written: - 
 
 Petra precor Dic sic, 
 
 Anselmus Episcopus est hic. 
 
 Near the rails on the same side, in an arch in the 
 wall, lies Rees ap Tudor, inarmour. The image is 
 tolerably entire, and well done, in free stone ; his 
 head resting on an open helmet, and a lion couch- 
 ing at his feet. Opposite to him, on the north 
 side, in an arch within the walls, lies Owen ap 
 Tudor, likewise in armour; his head resting 
 upon a cushion, with a lion at his feet, as before 
 described : this image is not so well done as the 
 other, and rather more defaced. Both are with- 
 
 out any inscription. 
 
 E Here | 
 
( 26 ) 
 
 '- Here I ought to take notice of the tradition 
 concerning one of these knights in armour. It 
 is generally believed that this is Owen ap Tudor, 
 who married Queen Catharine of France; and it - 
 appears the more probable, as he lies so near his 
 son the Earl of Richmond. A remarkable story 
 is related of the grandfather of Owen ap Tudor, 
 Sir Tudor ap Grono; of whom it is said that 
 he conferred the honour of knighthood on him- 
 self ; for which his king sent for him, and asked 
 “‘ how he durst invade his prerogative, by assum- 
 ing the degree of knighthood without his autho-. 
 rity ?” “ Sire,” replied Tudor, “ by the laws and 
 constitutions of king Arthur, I had a right to take 
 upon me that title, in regard I had these three 
 qualifications ; which whosoever is endued with, 
 may, by those laws, assume the honour of a 
 knight. First, lam a gentleman; secondly, E 
 have a sufficient estate ; and, thirdly, lam valiant 
 and adventurous :” adding, if my valour and 
 hardiness be doubted, lo! here I throw down my 
 glove; and, for due proof of my courage, IT am 
 ready to combat with any man, whatever he be.” 
 The king applauded him, and confirmed his 
 
 knighthood.

( @ ) 
 
 On the north side of the chancel, under-an 
 arch, is the celebrated shrine of Saint David; 
 
 formerly it was all of one flat stone, which is now 
 broken into several pieces. Above it were antient- 
 ly three images, representing Saint David, in the 
 middle; Saint Patrick, on the right hand; and 
 Saint Dennis, on the left. In the side are four 
 quaterfoil holes, into which the votaries put their 
 offerings, which were taken out by the monks at 
 
 two iron doors behind. 
 
 In the year 1085, king William entered Wales, 
 and marched after the manner of pilgrimage as 
 far as Saint David's; ‘where he offered and paid 
 his devotion to the shrine of that celebrated 
 Saint. In 1171, king Henry the Second came 
 and paid the same homage; he was afterwards 
 entertained by. the Bishop. Nov. 26th, 1284, 
 king Edward the First, and his queen Eleanor, 
 came here for the same purpose ; where pilgrims 
 of all descriptions visited, and made their offer- 
 ings. To this receptacle the offerings made at 
 the other chapels were brought and deposited ; 
 - where, they say, it was divided every Saturday 
 among the canons and priests: and tradition 
 
 E Be Says, 
 
( 28 ) 
 
 says, that so great was the offering-money, that 
 it used to be divided by dishfulls; the quantity 
 not allowing them leisure to count it. That the 
 devotion to this church was very great in the 
 Popish times is certain; and how meritorious 
 they accounted it, appears by this old verse: 
 
 ** Roma semel quantum, bis dat Menevia tantum.” 
 
 It was esteemed as meritorious to visit Saint David's twice, as to 
 
 visit Rome once. 
 
 Which has been answered thus’: 
 
 ce Abe . 
 Mercedem similem reddit uterque locus.” 
 
 It is as meritorious to visit one, as the other. 
 
 Tradition repeats another phrase, 
 
 Every one must go once to Saint David's, dead or alive, 
 
 On the north side isa handsome mural mo- 
 nument, erected to the memory of treasurer 
 Lloyd, by his son, in king James the first’s time, 
 with this inscription: “ Marmaducus Lloyd, 
 Armiger, Juris-consultus, et Medii Templi So- 
 cius, hoc fecit in perpetuam Patris sui Charissimi - 
 Thome Lloyd, hujus Ecclesiz Cathedralis Tre- 
 saurarii, Memoriam, qui Octavo Die Mensis 
 Martii, Anno Decimo Regni Serenissimi Regis 
 
 Jacobi, 
 
( 2 
 
 Jacobi, Obiit, hic jacet.” It is much defaced,.as 
 is the whole tomb. Above it was a bust. On 
 the side, near the ground, there were at first three 
 images, cramped with iron into the monument: 
 these images were made headless by the rebels 
 in Cromwell’s time. A remarkable story concern- 
 ing them is told, and fully authenticated; when 
 the rebels mutilated this tomb, and beat off the 
 heads of these images, they impiously carried 
 one of them to the font, near the west door, 
 attempting there to baptize it, according to the 
 form prescribed in our Liturgy ; but, whilst they 
 stood at the font, the head fell upon the toe of 
 him who personated the priest: he complained 
 instantly of the bruise, which gangrened ; and, 
 though they took what care of him they could, 
 he died in a day or two after. 
 
 Another story is handed down from the same 
 time. The rebels were consulting in the choir 
 about what other sacrilegious mischiefs they 
 should perform; it was at length agreed to de- 
 stroy the organ. ‘The organist, who had secret- 
 -ed himself within the organ-loft, heard the same; 
 knowing that, if they perpetrated their intended 
 
 mischief, 
 
€ 30 ) 
 
 mischief, he should lose his bread, he threw a 
 large stone into the choir; which falling on the — 
 head of one of Cromwell’s aids-du-camp, killed 
 him: dreading the consequence of his being dis- 
 covered and taken by the rebels, he fled; they 
 perceived, and pursued him; when he had the 
 presence of mind to get into one of the bells, 
 which hung low, and there supported himself by 
 the clapper, until they had given up the search. | 
 The rebels carried away with them every thing of 
 value; among the rest was the great bell, just men- 
 tioned ; they managed to get it on ship-board, but - 
 the vessel was wrecked in passing through Ram- 
 sey Sound; and so superstitious were the lower 
 class of persons for some time, that they often ~ 
 fancied they heard it ring, presaging storms. - 
 
 To eae to the church.—The altar is plain, 
 and its ornaments few ; there are three long arch- 
 es, of neat fretted stone-work, and over them isa 
 handsome window, arched on the top; the lower 
 fretted arches, and work over the em pannelled 
 wainscoating, is strikingly neat. The middle 
 arch is longer and broader than the two side ones. 
 These arches had formerly three windows of 
 
 painted 
 
( st) 
 
 painted glass, looking into Bishop Vaughan’s 
 chapel. The upper part of “he choir, both with- 
 in and without the rails, presents a most beauti- 
 ful and perfect Mosaic pavement of painted 
 bricks ; it is a remarkable specimen of elegance, 
 and for its high state of perfection merits obser- 
 vation ; the most prevailing colours are red and 
 yellow, varied and disposed according to the 
 patterns of the pavement: various emblems, de- 
 vices, and characters are exhibited: some few of 
 the bricks have coats of arms upon them; upon 
 others are roses and lilies, which mark their age ; 
 for, upon Tudor’s account, the Lancastrian in- 
 terest prevailed here; so that it is most probable 
 this pavement was made in the Earl of Rich- 
 mond’s time; especially as he was the son of 
 Queen Catharine of France, by Owen Tudor, 
 who married her after the death of king Henry 
 the Fifth. Under the gate of the rails, at the 
 ascent to the altar, are sixteen bricks set together 
 in a square, which has a circle inscribed ; in this 
 circle is a large rose, and Deo Gratias circum- 
 scribed several times. — 3 
 
 _= Between Saint David's shrine, and the Earl of 
 Richmond’s 
 
( 32 ) 
 
 Richmond’s tomb, some of the bricks are broken ; 
 tradition says this was done by Cromwell's horse ;_ 
 certainly there is a visible appearance of the im- 
 pression of a horse’s shoe: they add, that he rode 
 up to the altar to witness the sacrilegious barba- 
 rities of his myrmidons. The cieling of the 
 roof of the choir escaped unmolested ; it consists 
 of very small pannels of wood painted, and the 
 joints of the mouldings gilt, with several coats of 
 arms upon the mitres of the pannels : the roof of 
 the steeple within the choir is likewise of wood, 
 and neatly painted. It is much higher than the 
 roof of the church ; the steeple is 42 feet square 
 without, where it joins to the body of the church. 
 Its height, from the ground to the rails, is 119. 
 feet ; its breadth at top, within the battlements, is 
 26 feet and a half; from the battlements to the 
 top of the spires, or pinnacles, is 7 feet and a half; 
 it has now only three bells; and those, when. 
 rung, puzzle the hearer to determine whether 
 they are intended to utter expressions of joy or 
 
 SOTrOW. 
 
 Opposite the Bishop’s throne, under a flat stone, 
 which has had several brass ornaments about it, 
 . | and 
 
( 33 ) 
 
 and probably an inscription, lies Rhesius, son of 
 Griffin, Prince of South Wales ; who died in the 
 year 1198. Beneath the pulpit in the choir, 
 under a square stone, with some inscription upon 
 it in old characters, which cannot be plainly de- 
 cyphered, lies Bishop John Morgan, who appears 
 to have been buried in the year 1496. 
 
 In the north wall of the chancel, near the . 
 choir, is a door leading into the north aisle, 
 
 which is 92 feet long from west to east, and 14 
 
 >. feet broad. Out of this aisle, and adjoining to 
 
 the north cross aisle of the church, is the old 
 chapter-house ; it is 20 feet north and south, and 
 25 feet east and west; and is very coarsely arch- 
 ed above with stone, and paved with brick; to- 
 wards the east are two steps, leading up to an 
 _ altar, now demolished ; over the chapter-house 
 is a chamber, formerly the treasury, 21 feet 
 ‘north and south, and 28 feet east and west ; this 
 room is now converted into a school, and has an 
 endowment of 101. a-year for the instruction of 
 the choristers. The roof is covered with the slate 
 of the country. | , 
 
 F In 
 
(2 
 
 In this north aisle, or cloister, in thé north 
 wall, are several monuments of Knights Templars, 
 who were of the family of the Wogans; from 
 whom, it is understood, the present Lord Mil- 
 ford’s family is descended. The statues are much 
 defaced, but appear to be covered with coats of 
 mail, as may be still seen upon some of the 
 figures of the monuments: there are no inscrip- 
 tions upon any of them. In this aisle, upon the 
 south wall, are seen two. circular apertures, in 
 which it was customary to deposit offerings ; 
 over them is.a recess, which appears to have held 
 some image, and very probably the crucifix now 
 in Saint Andrew’s chapel. On the same wall, 
 and eastward of the last, is an old monument, 
 much defaced ; it has on one side this broken in- 
 scription, Orate pro Anima Johannis Archi— 
 the rest was at the feet, but is now quite effaced, 
 so that it is not known whether it was Archidia- 
 coni or Archi-Episcopi. Over this thonument is 
 a most beautiful crucifix, between two saints; 
 ‘it is much mutilated, but: what remains is greatly 
 admired. On the south-east corner is a recess, 
 appearing to have been appropriated to the re- 
 céption of the holy water. 
 
 Eastward 
 
( 35 ) 
 
 Eastward of the choir, and directly joining it, 
 behind the altar-is Bishop Vaughan’s chapel ; 
 presenting the beholder with an exuberant dis- 
 play of carved work, on its beautifully wrought 
 cieling ; with which all the surrounding orna- 
 ments in the building perfectly correspond: it 
 
 has pretty well escaped the injuries of time. 
 
 To give some idea of this combination of taste 
 and exquisite workmanship, suffice it to say, that 
 it bears a strong resemblance to those fine speci- 
 mens exhibited in King Henry the Seventh’s . 
 Chapel in Westminster Abbey, and it is strong- 
 ly presumed that the same architect and work- 3 
 men who framed that structure were employed 
 here. It is 16 feet from east to west, and 36 
 feet from north to south. Bishop Vaughan lies 
 buried here; his image was engraved in brass, 
 upon a marble stone lying flat upon the ground, 
 and had underneath these lines engraved on a 
 brass plate; 
 
 Presul Meneviee Edwardus Vaughan, hic jacet, & Lux 
 Ecclesia & Patriz Fautor, Honorque Decus. 
 Quinque Talenta habuit Domini, & docte & sapienter 
 Et bene tractavit fudit & aurit, ea 
 _Ergo Deus Dic Pontifici huic, Bone & Euge, Fidelis 
 Serye! intra in Domini Gaudia, summa Tui, 
 
 F 2 The |

 The brass is all picked out, but, by the cavities in 
 the stone, it appears to have been very curiously 
 wrought. In one of the centres of the roof are 
 the arms of King Henry the Seventh, and in 
 another those of Bishop Vaughan. f 
 
 In the east wall of this chapel are niches, 
 which seem to have been for roods or images, 
 but generally for the former; because there are 
 no holes into which the images could have been 
 cramped, unless those images were moveable, and 
 carried about in processions. In the east wall 
 are two long lancets, which point directly into 
 the north and south aisle; by which means the 
 priest, who officiated in Bishop Vaughan’s chapel, 
 might be distinctly heard in the said aisles. ‘The 
 north and south sides of Bishop Vaughan’s chapel 
 are not built up solid to the top, but separated 
 from the aisles by stone screens, very finely 
 wrought, of free stone, over which are stone 
 arches: this chapel is covered with lead, ta 
 which it is indebted for the preservation of its 
 
 beautiful roof, 
 
 Just behind Bishop Vaughan’s chapel, te the 
 east, is a passage which leads between the north 
 and 
 
C *9R7) 
 and south aisles, 10 feet and a half east and west, 
 and 24 feet north and south; it opens between 
 -each aisle by two arches, divided by three pillars: 
 between these pillars, pointing to the north and 
 south, was a very large pillar, which divided it 
 ‘from Saint Mary’s chapel. This chapel, which 
 concludes the whole building towards the east, is 
 22 feet north and south, and 44 feet east and 
 west; the roof is totally decayed, and no vestige 
 of it remains but the key-stones, which are care- 
 fully preserved, and shown to strangers as curio- 
 sities worth regarding: they represent images, 
 coats of arms, wreathes, and different devices ; 
 on one are three rabbits placed triangularly, with 
 the back part of their heads turned inwards, and 
 so contrived that three ears supply the place of 
 six: on another are seen the heads of the seven 
 sisters who are said to have contributed to the 
 building, and given many donations to the church 
 
 and place. 
 
 Saint Mary’s chapel must have been extreme- 
 ly elegant, from the curious remains of pillars 
 and arches with which its space is strewed, as 
 well as from those various and extraordinary de- 
 
 vices 
 
("38K 
 
 vices in sculpture just mentioned. This chapel 
 was formerly covered with lead, which being 
 taken off, at the time of the rebellion, occasion- 
 ed its downfall. By the south wall of this 
 chapel, lies Bishop Martin, under a fine pavilion 
 of Caer-Fai stone: within the wall, above it, are 
 three stone seats; on which, they say, the bishop 
 and two archdeacons used formerly to sit. On 
 the north side lies Bishop Adam Houghton. In 
 this chapel was a pulpit and a library. The 
 south aisle runs parallel to the north, which is 
 92 feet long, cad 13 feet broad ; within this aisle, 
 near the steeple, was formerly a vestry, which 
 was subdivided, and is now entirely ruined; it “ 
 was 16 feet east and west, and 28 feet north 
 and south. Joining the steeple, to the west, near 
 the vestry, lies the body of a canon or prebendary 
 of this church ; but, there being no inscription, 
 it is not known to whom it belonged. Above 
 the last tomb-stone is that of one Silvester, of 
 whom -nothing more is known than that he was 
 a physician, by the inscription mentioning his 
 profession : 
 Silvester Medicus jacet hic, ejusque Ruina 
 Monstrat quod Mortinon obsistit Medicina. 
 
 Above 
 
( 39 ) 
 
 Above him, on each side of the aisle, are two 
 _ plain monuments, supposed to belong to two 
 canons of the chureh; and, more eastward, 
 
 ‘were other monuments antiently. 
 
 It appears that the remains of two illustrious 
 personages lie deposited at Saint David's, buried 
 there by the particular direction of their father 
 Griffith ap Rhys, prince of South Wales. Inthe 
 year 1227, Griffith ap Meredith was buried here: 
 he took up arms against Prince Rhys ap Tudor, 
 joining his forces with Llewin and Eineon,. and 
 boldly challenged Rhys Tudor to fight; who 
 thereupon gave him battle: when, after a reso- 
 lute and hard-contested conflict on both sides, 
 Meredith’s army was worsted and put to flight; 
 he was taken and executed in 1233: Rhys Grye, 
 another son of Griffith ap Rhys, was buried here ; 
 but where, cannot be determined; though it is 
 strongly presumed to have been, and most pro- 
 bably was, within the walls of the late dissolved 
 ~ college of Saint Mary, where the bodies of many 
 
 bishops, friars, and monks are said to lie. 
 
 It is likewise said of these two personages, 
 that they both marched by night withan army to 
 Tenby, 
 
( 46) 
 
 Tenby, stormed the place, and took it: after they 
 had secured that conquest, they divided their ar- 
 mies, Rhys marched to Cyficlioc, all of which 
 country he took and devastated. Meredith laid 
 siege to Aberavon-castle, which he soon took, 
 and returned, bringing with him great booty, and 
 many rich spoils. Meredith died in the 25th year of | 
 his age, and is said to have been a person of pro- 
 digious valour. Near the east end of the south 
 aisle are two recesses ; in one of which was put 
 the holy water, and in the other was placed the 
 host. 
 
 The whole of the cathedral church is in most 
 excellent repair, and its present neat appearance 
 is attributed to the liberal attention of the chap- 
 ter, who have vested the direction of the same 
 in the present residentiary ; knowing the recti- 
 tude of his heart to fill, conscientiously, and with 
 dignity, the duties of his station: asa friend, he 
 is warm, sincere, and solid; possessing every vir- 
 tue requisite to form a perfect character. ‘Those 
 who know him will not accuse me of flattery, 
 but be convinced that I merely echo the public 
 voice. The great degree of attention paid to, 
 
 and 
 
( 41 ) 
 and decorum observed in the service in this 
 church, though in this remote corner of the king- 
 dom, where there are few to witness it, have been 
 often acknowledged, and might put some of the 
 proudest choirs to the blush! There is one part 
 of the service cannot be passed by in silence—the 
 Responses to the Litany; which has a most pleas- 
 ing, plaintive, and solemn effect ; inspiring awe, 
 and infusing the purest sensations of morality 
 
 and religion. 
 
 To the south of the church, having an ascent, 
 is the church-yard; in which are many neat, 
 plain tomb-stones: the inscriptions on most of 
 them prove, how much this place promotes 
 longevity ; as many are found to have lived here 
 much beyond the period usually allotted to 
 
 man. 
 
 _On the west lie three persons, north and south. 
 The singularity of the position embarrassed me 
 to account for it: 1 was informed they were 
 buried thus by their express desire, being strange 
 characters ; who, not content with differing from 
 all other men when living, were determined to 
 do it after their death. sie

 It is the custom here, as in most parts of Wales, 
 for the friends of the deceased to plant their 
 graves with flowers and evergreens: the appear- 
 ance raised emotions of mournful meditation ; 
 the flowers planted on most of these mouldering 
 heaps were withered away, and the bare stalks 
 
 only left of the last tribute affection had bestow- 
 
 ed; while on a few they flourished, shading the 
 peaceful abode of some lamented remains ; daily 
 bedewed with the soft tear of sorrow, for the 
 loss of a wife, a husband, a son, a daughter, a 
 lover, or a friend. 
 
 It is said that King Henry the Eighth had — 
 once a design of removing this Episcopal See of 
 Saint David’s to Caermarthen, it being more cen- 
 tral to the diocese; but desisted from his de- 
 sign, on being informed that the bones of his 
 grandfather, the Earl of Richmond, were depo- 
 sited here; whose tomb thus saved the church. 
 
 On the north side of the body of the church, 
 and contiguous to it, are the remains of a beauti- 
 ful College, built by the famous John of Gaunt 
 duke of Lancaster, and Adam Houghton bishop 
 of this diocese: it was a quadrangular building, . 
 
 2 ; | if and 
 
( 43) 
 
 and within the area 74 feet edst to west, and 80 
 feet from north to south: on the west it has a 
 lofty and beautiful square tower: on the north 
 side was a chapel, which had a-noble window to 
 the east, and six large windows, three to the 
 north, and three to the south: it is built over a 
 vault, which formerly was a charnel-house, . 
 having a stream of water running through its eat 
 was 74 feet east and west, and 35 feet north 
 and south. The roof of this college was co- 
 vered with lead: but, in King Edward the 
 Sixth’s reign, it was surrendered to the Crown; 
 when, being much neglected, it soon fell into its 
 present ruined state. ‘The hall, though now in 
 ruins, exhibits the remains of much antient gran- 
 deur :—it had the following endowments. John 
 duke of Lancaster, and Blanch his wife, perceiv- 
 ing that the service of God was ill performed 
 in the cathedral of Saint David's, which had | 
 formerly been metropolitan, and because there 
 were few priests that could sing well, founded a 
 chapel, or chauntry, of one master and seven 
 priests, by way of a college; who were to reside 
 there continually,and serve God, onthe north side 
 of said cathedral: and Adam Houghton, bishop of 
 
 6.2 the 
 
( ee 
 
 the diocese, built three houses, and a cloister, be- 
 tween the cathedral and chapel; and, for their 
 maintenance, assigned them the right of patron- 
 age of five churches in his diocese; yiz. Saint 
 Ismael’s, and Longonour, acquired of the afore- 
 said John duke of Lancaster, and Blanch his wife; 
 the church of Malios, of the noble Guido Bryenne; 
 the church of Haroldeston, near the sea in Roos, 
 of master John then lord of Haroldeston; and the 
 churchof Nevernein Remeys, of Nicholas Audeley 
 lord of Remeys: the patrons of the said churches. 
 
 There were also made statutes and ordinances 
 for them; the purport whereof was, that the 
 master and priests should live in community ; 
 that they should, at their admittance, swear to 
 observe the statutes ; that they should, daily, sing 
 all the hours of high mass—say certain prayers 
 for the dead, and their private masses; that they 
 should be clothed like the vicars of the cathedral, 
 and perform divine service daily; that none 
 should be absent from any part of the divine ser- 
 vice without leave, and upon some very lawful 
 occasion ; that none of them should go into the 
 town of Saint David's, or into a tavern, or ale- 
 
 . house, 
 
(ey 
 
 house, without leave of the master, or with one 
 of his brethren, and upon some very lawful occa- 
 sion ; that if the master or priests were convicted 
 of incontinency, they should be severely punished 
 the first time, more grievously the second, and be 
 expelled the third, without the hope of ever being 
 restored ; the same if any were quarrelsome or 
 
 troublesome: that the precentor of the cathe- 
 dral, and the master, inquire every week, or 
 fortnight, into the misbehaviour of the priests, 
 and correct the same; and, if the precentor be 
 absent, sick, or negligent, then the treasurer to 
 do the same: that they all be modestly clothed 
 alike, once a year; none of them to wear any 
 dagger, or long knife; one to be chosen month- 
 ly steward of the house; that the master be 
 chosen by the brethren ; that they pay reverence 
 to the canons of the cathedral; that no women 
 be ever permitted to serve in their house; that 
 one of them be chosen sacrist to take care of all 
 belonging to the chapel; that 401. be laid up in 
 the common chest under three keys, and all 
 above the said 4ol. for the maintenance of the ~ 
 master and chaplains, to be at the disposal of 
 the Bishop; and that the common seal be kept 
 in the said chest, as well as the money. 
 King 
 
( 46 ) 
 
 King Richard the Second, in the 13th year of 
 his reign, in consideration of 201. received, for- 
 gave the forfeiture incurred by Adam Houghton 
 bishop of Saint David's, for adding to this chapel 
 the church of Whitewell, without his licence ; 
 but confirmed the grants. . 
 
 To the west of the cathedral stands an edifice 
 erected within a few years as a new chapter- 
 house ; it consists of a handsome large room 42 
 feet long: in this room the chapter give their en- 
 tertainments at their audit, held on St. James's 
 and the succeeding days ; at which time are seen, 
 what Pembrokeshire has so much and deservedly 
 to boast of, its fair inhabitants; which, from the 
 time of Queen Elizabeth, have been particularised. 
 “ for their beauty and wit yielding to none ” 
 those attractions have not in the least faded, but 
 are still displayed in their wonted lustre; while 
 the hospitality of the hosts diffuses mirth, and 
 crowns the meeting with delight. Adjoining to 
 this room, to the north, isa smaller one, where 
 the chapter transact their business; the whole is 
 built with suitable offices, as kitchens, cellars, 
 &c. in the Gothic style, with a fancied spire. The 
 whole of this edifice is much condemned by visis 
 
 tors, 
 
ti a8 
 
 tors, not only from its own appearance, but from 
 its being contrasted by those antient and splendid 
 structures so nearly seated by it. 
 
 The little river Allan divides the church on 
 the west from the rest of the close; over it for- 
 merly lay a large block of marble, 10 feet long, 
 called Lechlaver, or the speaking stone ; because, 
 attempting to speak once, as a corpse was carry- 
 ing over it, it split in two: on which account no 
 more corpses were carried over it. Merlin had 
 foretold that a king of England, returning from 
 “the conquest of Ireland, having been wounded 
 by a man witha red hand, should expire on this 
 stone: whereupon, when King Henry the Second 
 passed over it in pilgrimage, in his return from 
 {reland, a woman exclaimed, ‘* Deliver us, Lech- 
 laver! deliver the nation, and the world, from this 
 man!”—The king stopped short, and looking 
 earnestly at the stone, passed boldly over it, 
 upbraiding Merlin with falsehood: but he was an- 
 swered, that he was not the king meant by Mer- 
 lin, nor was he to conquer Ireland. This stone 
 was removed before 1597, and an arched bridge 
 built in its place; but a tradition still prevails of 
 such a stone haying been there.

 by a wall, and the porter’s lodge stood to the 
 _ north-east. 
 
 The bishops usually lived in the east side, 
 where there appears to have been many large 
 and magnificent apartments, Part of the kitchen 
 is Still standing; at the south-east end it is 23 
 feet east and west, and 28 feet north and south; 
 in the centre of the room was a large pillar, 
 sustaining four wide arches, which took up the 
 four sides of the room; in those arches were four 
 vast chimnies, of the same width at bottom with 
 the. four arches, lessening gradually, as other 
 chimnies do, towards the top, with solid flews; 
 some part of them are still entire. Adjoining 
 the kitchen, towards the north, was the Bishops’ 
 hall, 58 feet north and south, and 23 feet east and 
 west; within that was a parlour 25 feet and a 
 half square; and within that, on the north side, 
 was formerly an oratory. 
 
 _ The south side of the quadrangle is a noble 
 building, erected to entertain King John and his 
 Queen, on their return from Ireland: the arch 
 by which you enter the King’s hall was singu- 
 larly fine; it had the statues of the King and Queen 
 | il over 
 
( b0 ) 
 
 ever it; one of them is fallen out, and the other 
 ina declining posture. The apartment consists 
 of a hall, still bearing the name of that monarch ;. 
 it is 88 feet long by 30 broad. Atthe south end 
 is seen that deservedly-admired circular window, 
 formed like a wheel, with a rim, spokes, and 
 centre ; it is wrought in the most exquisite Gothic 
 taste, and is still pretty entire; remaining as a 
 specimen of the perfection science had at that 
 period attained. . 
 
 The room to the west is said to have been a 
 chapel, but appears most probably to have been 
 a bed- chamber ; for minute observation justifies 
 the idea of pronouncing that the chapel stands to, 
 the east, as in that apartment there is a recess” 
 evidently designed for the reception of the Host. 
 But its present neighbours have rendered our re- 
 searches nearly in vain, by committing such ex- — 
 cesses, and mutilating its grandeur, merely for 
 the sake of the stone; thus destroying many an- 
 tient monuments of former splendor! Towards 
 the north are said to have been lodgings, and be= 
 yond them stables, but their walls are e nearly de- 
 stroyed.

 The whole of the bishop's palace is built upon 
 arches, which appear to have been used as cellars; 
 
 a beautiful old entrance through two arches from 
 the south are still visible, and, with the whole of 
 
 this stately edifice, still to be admired. 
 
 I cannot take my leave of this sad monument 
 of departed greatness, without giving one look 
 back, to bewail the desertion of this former seat 
 of opulence and antient grandeur ; which remains 
 a lasting reproach to the memory of those who 
 desolated and caused those beautiful features of 
 characteristic elegance, peculiar to itself, to sink _ 
 into such a decayed condition ; compelling the 
 penetrating eye of the antiquary, and admirer 
 of splendid structure, to yield its tribute of 
 
 regret. 
 
 The whole was encompassed by a wall, part 
 of which is still seen, whose embattled top indi- 
 cates great original strength; it is now deeply 
 hooded by ivy, tenanted by such birds as seek 
 solitude and security. There were formerly four | 
 large gates in the outward wall ; but only one of 
 them is now standing, called the Tower-gate, 
 leading from the church-yard into the town. On.

 is judged necessary for the advantage of ‘the

 themselves, consisting of a sub-chantor, and

 without the interposition of the upper chapter. — 
 
 There are but two houses annexed to the 
 church worth remarking, the rest are in a dilapi- 
 dated condition. That occupied by the residen- 
 tiary is a neat edifice, replete with comfort and 
 convenience: the. one belonging to the agchdea- 
 con of Brecon bears a most venerable appear- 
 ance; over the entrance are some curious arms, 
 marking their antiquity, but so disfigured by age 
 and lime that they are now difficult to be traced: 
 among them may be discerned royal arms, similar 
 to. those in King’s College Chapel, Cambridge; the 
 
 rest 
 
( 54 ) 
 
 rest carry a traditional phrase, “ as sorry as the 
 ‘man who killed his greyhound.” — They say 
 there formerly was a representation of a dog, 
 sword, cradle, and child; the whole of it most 
 probably went to represent the fable of the 
 serpent that killed the child; which deed the frantic 
 parent thought was committed by the faithful 
 
 dog. 
 
 The town of Saint David’s wears a very sorry 
 appearance ; and in a very antient manuscript in 
 the Bodleian Library at Oxford, it is thus spoken 
 
 of; 
 
 © Where in an agede cell, with mosse and iveye growne, 
 
 © In which nor to this daye the sunn had ever showne, 
 
 * Their Rev. British Saint, in zealous ages paste, 
 
 * To contemplation lived, and did so trulie faste, 
 
 * As he did onlie drink what chrystal [rivers] yields, 
 
 * And fed upon the leakes he gather’d in the fields : 
 
 © In memory of whom, in the revolving year, 
 
 © The Welchman on that daye that sacred herb doth wear, 
 
 © When of that holie man, as humbly they do crave, 
 
 * That in their juste defence they might his furtherance have.” 
 
 From the same, on the Situation of Saint 
 David's. 2 
 
 "© ‘As cressent like the lande her [rocks she] inward bendes 
 
 * From Milford which she forth to old Meénevia sendes, 
 © Since 
 
( 38 ) 
 
 * Since holy David’s seat; which, of especial grace, 
 * Doth lend that noble name to that unnobled place. 
 * Of all the holy men, whose fame so fresh remains, 
 * To whom the Britons built so many sumptuous fanes ; 
 
 _ £ This Sainte, before the reste, their nation still they hold, 
 * Whose birth the antient bards to Cambria long foretolde, 
 * And seated here a See, his bishoprick of yore, 
 
 * Upon the farthest pointe of that unfruiteful shore, 
 
 £ Selected by himself, that far from all resorte, 
 
 * With contemplations seem'd most fitly to comporte; 
 
 * There, void of all delite, cold, barren, bleak and dry, 
 
 * No pleasure might allure, nor steale the wandering eye.” 
 
 From the same, on viewing the Dilapidations. 
 
 _ © Where once the larke, on fluttering wing, 
 * Called drowsie brothers up to sing - 
 © Lauds, matins, thanks to God above; 
 © Now not a tongue is hearde to move, 
 * Unless the owles and birds of nighte, 
 * Or dismal shriekes of haunting sprite : 
 © Those sacred celles, where votaries were, 
 2 In peaceful contemplative prayer, 
 * The lurking dens of wild beasts made, 
 * And foxes howle, where hermits prayed.” 
 
 - Its situation is perfectly well adapted to the 
 intention of the founders, who sought the most 
 remote place ; it being at the fullest extremity of 
 the island, and may strictly be called the seat of 
 
 | | : solitude 
 
i 56 ) 
 
 solitude and retirement: the land is fertile, owing 
 to the continual spray from the sea. 
 
 There were formerly several chapels about 
 St. David’s, all belonging to its mother church, 
 dedicated to several Saints, and commodiously | 
 seated to draw the devotions of the pilgrims. | 
 The first, and principal one, is Saint Nun’s chapel, 
 said to be dedicated to her for being St. David's 
 mother: there isa fine well beside it, covered 
 with a‘stone roof, and inclosed within a wall; 
 there were formerly benches to sit upon, round 
 the well; many used to visit this Saint, particu- 
 larly on Saint Nun’s day, March 2d, which was 
 kept holy, and offerings made of money, &e. 
 by throwing them into the water. There was 
 so much faith attached to this once celebrated 
 well, that it was said every wish made there 
 would be realized on making an offermg. and 
 preserving silence. ‘There isa traditional story of 
 its virtues: it is said to have possessed the quali- 
 ties of healing all complaints; but, it was added, 
 there must be great faith. ‘‘ A person labour- 
 ‘ing under the heaviest affliction of. lameness, 
 
 “ with 
 
(° or) 
 
 ““ with difficulty attained the well .upon his 
 *< crutches ; he immersed in this limpid stream, 
 * and returned home with unspeakable joy, hav- 
 ing left his crutches behind him at the well.” 
 Some people visit it to this day, and make offer- 
 ings of pins, pebbles, &c. The remains of the 
 chapel, which have not any thing particular to 
 recommend them, are still visible; they are situate 
 
 very near the sea, on the south of Saint David’s. 
 
 Westward of the town, about a mile distant, 
 stands Capel-y-Pistyll, taking its name from a 
 spring; but no vestige of the chapel now re- 
 
 mains. 
 
 Capel Stinian, Saint Justinian’s chapel, has 
 been a very fine, beautiful, and strong building, 
 with battlements round it; the walls are still 
 very strong, though there has not been any cover- 
 ing upon it for a great length of time: it has a 
 
 well not far from it. 
 
 - Within a short distance of the last, is Capel 
 Patrick, Saint Patrick’s chapel, full west of Saint 
 David's, placed as near his own country, Ireland, 
 
 I as 
 
( 58 ) 
 
 as possible: it is now wholly decayed. Saint 
 Patrick, as before mentioned, is reputed to have 
 been born here, in an old square tower, which 
 has lately been taken down ; and no memorial is 
 
 left of its former existence. 
 
 It is a singular fact, that, in the parish of Saint 
 ’ David’s, there never was seen a snake, viper, or 
 any species of these reptiles ¢ and that immediately 
 beyond its boundaries, they are found ; the lower 
 class endeavours to account for it, by St. David's 
 being the birth-place of Saint Patrick, the tutelar 
 Saint of Ireland; in which country, it is well 
 
 known, no such reptiles exist. 
 
 This famed and illustrious personage, Saint 
 Patrick, is said to have been the son of Calphuin, 
 a British priest of noble and good family, by his 
 wife Concha, sister to Saint Martin of Tours. 
 He is represented to have been of an ingenu- 
 ous and benign disposition: having received the 
 early part of his education at home, he travelled 
 into Gaul, and studied a considerable time under 
 the celebrated Saint Germans, bishop of Arles; 
 whence he went to-Rome, where, by the great- 
 
 ness 
 
( 29? ) 
 
 ness of his learning, and sanctity of his manners, 
 he gained the esteem and friendship of Ccelestine, 
 then bishop of that city: on his return from the 
 Continent, he was taken by pirates, and carried 
 into Ireland ; where he remained some years, 
 being advised ‘to employ his great talents in 
 attempting to instruct those people in the know- 
 ledge of the Christian Religion: and having be- 
 held with compassion their want of that inform- 
 ation, he cheerfully undertook the arduous task 
 of their instruction and conversion, es which 
 work he employed the remaining years of his 
 life; and his pious and learned labours were 
 crowned with the most astonishing success, for 
 which he was enrolled in their catalogue of 
 Saints. In the early part of his life he founded 
 the cathedral church there, and another after- 
 wards at.Saint David’s. He died in Ireland, 
 anno Salutis 491, in the 122d year of his age ; and 
 liés buried at Down, in that kingdom, together 
 with Saint Bridgett and Columba, as appears by 
 these lines : ) 
 
 ‘© Hi tres in Duno tumulo tumulantur in uno : 
 * Brigitta, Patricius, atque Columba pius.” 
 
 rs He 
 
( Go. ) 
 
 He wrote the following books ; Ad Cereticum 
 Tirannum Epist. I—Ad Avalonias Incolas Epis- 
 tola una—Ad Hibernienses Ecclesias Epistole 
 plurime—Ad suos Britannos Epistole plurimee. 
 
 The last chapel mentioned is Capel-y-Gwrhyd, 
 the Chapel of the Fathom. ‘They used to shew, 
 upon an arch, Saint David's fathom, the length of 
 ‘his extended arms, which they say was three yards 
 and a half long: he is described to have been 
 upwards of four cubits in height ; to hawks been 
 comely, fair, and beautiful. No vestige of this 
 chapel is to be seen, and it is scarcely known 
 where it stood ; but is thus recorded in antient 
 
 writings. 
 
 Although the life of Saint David will come 
 within the class of its bishops, yet it may not be 
 improper, in this place, to give some few features 
 of this venerable, august, and renowned charac- 
 ter :--“‘ He was aman of great parentage, and near 
 of kin to Arthur, king of England ; -by whom 
 he was preferred to be Archbishop of Caerleon, 
 the metropolitan see of Wales, and Primate of 
 
 the 
 
i om) 
 
 the same; it being inthe tyme of King Arthur one 
 of the cheefe flourishing cities of all Britanie, as is 
 yet to be seene by the ruines thereof, found a mile 
 out of the now decayed towne, in corne fields 
 and other places: where vautes, streetes, and other 
 buildings are found by ploughing and digging. 
 Saint Davide was famed for his learning and 
 greate knowledge: he buylded twelve monaste- 
 ries, and, by his uncessant labours, utterly con- 
 futed and purged the church of the Pelagian 
 heresye, being thought before his tyme irrecover- 
 able. He was so inward with King Arthur, 
 that he obtained of the King to transferre the 
 archbishop’s see from Caerleon to his own towne 
 of Saint David’s, where to this day it remayneth, 
 although without such dignitie, which long since 
 has been surrendered. He lived in the tyme of 
 King Arthur, in the yeare 542, in the 147 yeare of 
 his age, therein agreeing with the age of the 
 patriarch Jacob at the tyme of hisdeath. He was 
 archbishop 65 years; was buried in Saint David's, ° 
 in a monasterie which Saint Patrick had founded 
 there.” He wrote the following books: Contra 
 Pelagios Liber unus—Homelius Evangeliorum 
 Lib. I. 
 
 All 
 
All these chapels are near the sea-side; and 
 adjoining to places where those that came by sea_ 
 commonly landed ; thereby to draw the devotion 
 
 of the seamen, passengers, and pilgrims. 
 
 Saint David’s has a small quay for shipping, 
 about a mile from the town, called Port Clais, 
 -where a small vessel may lie in great safety : 
 from this little harbour you may go to Ramsey- 
 island, by crossing its sound running between it — 
 and the main land ; it is about a mile over, though 
 it was formerly only a small fretum: it requires . 
 moderate weather, there being many rocks, and, 
 from the tides, it is both difficult and dangerous 
 to strangers. . cebaae 
 Not far from the south end of the sound, run~ 
 a reef of rocks nearly half way over, called the 
 Bitches : towards the middle is that rock so much 
 dreaded, and on which innumerable vessels have 
 been wrecked, called the Horse ; at high water it 
 cannot be seen, and the tide setting directly on 
 it, makes it very dangerous, particularly in a 
 calm: the rapidity of the current through the 
 sound 
 
( 63 ) 
 
 sound is said to be, on a spring tide, seven or eight 
 knots an hour; the velocity of discharging itself, 
 particularly if opposed by wind, causes a shot of 
 most tremendous appearance ; there are six dif- 
 ferent eddy tides, and it flows considerably longer 
 than it does at the back of the island. 
 
 This island is now in the form of a triangle, 
 about two miles long, and one in its extreme 
 breadth in the centre: there formerly was a wall 
 run across it; but its traces, and for what pur- 
 pose, are not known: antiently it was called 
 Ptolemeus Lymen; and on it were two chapels, 
 but now no vestige of them is to be seen: one 
 was dedicated to Saint David; and the other, 
 named Ynis Devanog, dedicated to a saint of 
 that name; who, with Faganus, was sent by 
 Bishop Elutherius to preach the word of life to 
 the Britons, in the year i186 after the ascension 
 of our Saviour Jesus Christ. The last-mentioned 
 chapel, with great part of the island, has been 
 swallowed up by the sea, as far as the rocky ex- 
 crescences to the westward of it. ‘The island, it 
 is said, was formerly inhabited by saints; and 
 that no less than 20,000 have been buried there: 
 
 it 
 
( Gt) 
 
 it keeps many cattle, sheep, and rabbits; but the 
 latter are nearly extirpated by the rats, that pe- 
 riodically swim across the sound during the sum- 
 mer. Great part of the soil is fertile, and yields 
 good grain: but this host of vermin convert it to 
 their own use, denying the benefit of the cultiva- 
 
 tion to its occupiers. 
 
 To this island, and the rocks adjoining, yearly 
 resort such an immense number of migrating 
 sea birds, of several sorts, as none but those 
 who have been eye-witnesses thereof can be pre- 
 vailed upon to believe, the cliffs. being nearly 
 covered by them: they chiefly consist of the 
 Elyug, the Razor-bill, which is the Mere of Corn- 
 wall; the Puffin, which is the arctic duck of Clu- 
 sius; and a variety of gulls. Here they all come to 
 deposit their eggs, and rear their young ; in places 
 so high and rugged, as to make it almost inac- 
 cessible to the foot of plunder or hand of yio- 
 lence: their visits and returns are very preci- 
 pitate; for, after the breeding season, they depart 
 in the night; in the previous evening the rocks 
 are covered, and the next morning not a birdis to 
 be seen: in like manner, on their return in the 
 
 evening, 
 
evening, not a bird will be seen, and the next 
 morning the rocks will be full of them. They also 
 visit commonly for a week about Christmas, and 
 then-finally take their departure until the follow- 
 ing breeding season. The Eligug and Razor-bill 
 Jay but one egg each, on the bare rock; never 
 leaving it until it is hatched, and their offspring 
 able to follow them: either from instinctive fond- 
 ness, or for fear of the gulls, their greatest ene- 
 mies. ihe Puffin much resembles the Parrot, 
 with an arched red beak; they breed in holes 
 vacated by the rabbits. The vast number of 
 eggs laid on these rocks are, when in season, the 
 . principal subsistence of the poorer sort of inha- 
 bitants about Saint David’s: the eggs are about 
 the size of a duck’s, beautifully spotted and varie- 
 gated with many colours; all vary much, and 
 
 they say there are not two alike, 
 
 From this island, it is said, was formerly the 
 direct place of embarkation to Ireland ; but those 
 who are conversant with the tides do not give 
 the tradition that evidence which it merits: the 
 high rocks upon it were famed for breeding the 
 most celebrated falcons for hawking, but there . 
 
 K has 
 
C85") 
 
 has not been any seen for some centuries past. 
 
 These falcons were preferred to all others by 
 
 King Henry the Second, and are of that sort 
 
 which were called by sportsmen Peregrines, and 
 
 which Augustus Thuanus, of Esmer, in his excel- 
 
 lent piece on Falconry, termed Hieracosophion.

 North-west of this island are six rocks, sup- 
 posed to have been formerly part of the same; . 
 they are called the Bishop and Clerks, well 
 known and dreaded by all seamen who pass St. 
 George’s Channel : they are thus spoken of by an 
 author, about the time of the Spanish invasion in 
 1588—‘ They are stout sturdy fellows, and will 
 “‘ not budgea foot; are able to resist the King of 
 «« Spain’s great navy, and put her Majesty to 
 “ no charge at all.” .One of them, most to the 
 southward, is called Carreg Escob, or the Bishop’s 
 Rock; the second, Carreg-yr-Rossan ; the third, 
 Gwen Carreg, or White Rock ; the fourth, Deveck ; 
 
 | the 
 
( 3 
 
 the fifth, Carreg Hawloc; the sixth, Pnscan 
 These rocks are watchfully looked after by all 
 passing this sea, as this bishop and his clerks 
 preach such deadly doctrine to their winter 
 
 audience. 
 
 Saint David’s Head is a rock, visible a great 
 distance at sea, and has a very bluff shore of an 
 immense depth. Tradition reports, that one Adam 
 Samson, a notorious pirate in King Henry the 
 Seventh’s time, was taken in Saint George’s 
 Channel, after having done much mischief; the 
 ship, which had him on board, was driven this 
 way, when Samson took the opportunity of per- 
 suading the master to keep close to the rock to 
 avoid shoals, when he leaped upon it and made 
 his escape. On the top of the rock, above the 
 Head, are the remains of an old Roman fortifica- 
 tion, formed. by a barrier of piled stones running 
 across the peninsula of the Head, celebrated for 
 the sequestered and venerable situation of the 
 Druids. At the foot of this rampart is the founda- 
 tion of a square building of. considerable size, 
 not improbable to have been the residence of 
 _ that fraternity, who lived a collegiate or monastic 
 | K 2 life ; 
 
( 68 ) 
 
 life; it requiring many of them to perform the 
 sacred rites of their religion, as well as other 
 duties: near it are the remains of seven monu- 
 ments of antiquity, said to be Druidical temples ; 
 five of them are circular, about six yards diame- 
 ter; another of the same form, though much 
 
 smaller ; and one eliptical, ten yards by six. 
 
 Various have been the opinions of their inten- 
 tion; some say they are temples erected for the 
 exercise of their religious functions: they are 
 formed by stones set perpendicularly; as it ap- 
 gears by an article in their religious creed, that 
 it was unlawful to worship under roofs.—Others 
 have supposed them Orsedde or Orsedde-fianira, 
 Druidical .judgment-seats; where they heard 
 causes, and pronounced judgment. Their courts. 
 of justice were in the open air, seated on a. con- 
 ‘spicuous eminence, in an unfrequented and_re- 
 tired situation: the sanctity and austerity ‘of 
 their manners induced veneration for, and ac- 
 “+ quiescence in, their decrees. Nor was their dignity 
 or power in the least abridged, until a regular 
 code of laws was formed by Howel Dha, or the 
 Good: till then their laws consisted of a few 
 
 oral, 
 
( 69 ) 
 
 oral, traditional precepts, not reduced to writing, 
 but committed to memory. Thus the breast of 
 the Druid was the repository of the laws.— Others 
 have imagined they were for astronomical studies; 
 the situation answering every purpose of a fine 
 observatory ; and as they were chiefly devoted to 
 that science, all affairs of the greatest importance 
 were influenced by the revolutions of the great 
 fountains of light; but scrupulously avoided while 
 the moon was in the wane. Others say they were 
 erected to the honour of the Deity, or for re- 
 ceptacles of the dead, | 
 
 A little lower than where these are seen, is a 
 deep recess in the rock, called the Goat’s Cave; 
 it seems as if formed by art, about twenty. yards 
 by six in width: it now is very low, owing to a 
 _yast quantity of soil being left by the sheep, 
 sheltering from. the fury of thfe elements. 
 
 The Druids always had, near their venerable re- 
 sidences, a spot ina most secret situation; where. 
 ‘they performed such incantations as related to 
 theirsecret doctrines, concealing them from all the 
 world but their own society: they usually chose 
 
 2 a 
 
( a9 
 
 a cave for that purpose, as they observed the 
 most impenetrable secrecy in delivering their 
 opinions, and the greatest caution that they 
 might not be known to others: they made an 
 inviolable rule never to communicate any of 
 
 their secrets to a Woman. 
 
 About the Head are found the Saint David's 
 diamonds, or pellucid chrystals; some are procured 
 from the interstices of the rock, while others are 
 found encompassed with a dark earth, their points 
 appearing upward: they have a beautiful effect. 
 when well set; are very hard, and, when first 
 
 found, resemble the amethyst. 
 
 At a little distance from the Head, upon a 
 plain, isa famous Druidical altar, of one solid 
 stone, 12 feet long, 8 feet broad, and averaged at 
 2 feet thick; it formerly was supported by seyeral. 
 stones, but now rests only on one: its antient: 
 name was Cromlech, or Lhech-y-Drybedh. Here 
 sacrifices were offered to the deities, and, on the 
 eve of some great and awful event, the bloody 
 rites of their superstition were stained by human 
 victims, to gain more favour with, and to ap- 
 
 pease 
 
pease the anger of the gods. To the northward 
 of the Head, are vestiges of antient places of de- 
 fence, worthy attention—as there is neither his- 
 
 tory nor tradition concerning them. 
 
 In various places are seen carns, or more pro- 
 perly carnedds ; several of them are ranged in a 
 line, at a small distance from each other, in the 
 direction of east and west: they consist of large 
 tumuli of stones, probably the sepulchres of per= 
 sons of renown ; for, when a general, or distin- 
 guished hero, was killed in battle, it was usual 
 for all who lamented him to throw a stone upon 
 his grave; the greater the tumulus, the more 
 honourable was the interment. Though this prac- 
 tice has been disused for ages, it is yet acommon 
 expression in the country, to say of a person, 
 who died unlamented, Ni rhof i mor carreg 
 ar iw fed: Iwill not throw a stone upon his 
 grave. Some of those stone tumuli, or carns, 
 have been opened in Scotland, when there was 
 found, under the heap, stones placed in the form 
 
 ofa coffin, and often bones remaining. 
 
 From the vale, at some distance, over a tract 
 of sloping soil, yielding various heaths and aro- 
 
 matic 
 
C: 7a : 
 
 matic plants, rises a lofty mountain, called Carn 
 Llydy ; towering, in rude shapes, to a sublime 
 height, of singular and fantastic form. From the 
 summit of this rocky excresence is an extensive 
 view of nearly the whole county, and the penin- 
 sula of Saint Dayid’s, which almost appears to be 
 an island: the country about it is flat, intersected 
 by numerous inclesures, spotted with little white 
 cottages, and unfolding an expansive view of the 
 
 sca, 
 
 At the foot.of this. mountain, on the south 
 side, is the celebrated y-main-sigl, or lagan stone ; 
 once poised in so exact and central a manner 
 upon another stone, that it was moved by the 
 slightest touch: it is a huge stone, somewhat 
 round, broad, and cornered diversedly, as hard as. 
 marble. It is said it would require a hundred 
 yoke of oxen to displace it: it evidently is not 
 the immediate produce of that spot ; nor is it easy 
 to conceive what means were employed to raise 
 it to its present situation ; but it is generally sup- 
 posed to have been a Druidical achievement. Its 
 equilibrium was preserved until the Civil Wars, 
 when the soldiers under King Charles the First, 
 
 considering the stone as an object of superstition, 
 destroyed 
 
(i) 
 destroyed: its €quipoise, and rendered it immove= 
 able. 
 
 Near this is a house called Porth mawr; it is 
 ‘said to have a passage from one of its chambers 
 leading under ground to the sea, which is a 
 quarter of a mile from it; but all my searches to 
 find it have proved ineffectual: though it is an- 
 
 tiently spoken of, as an extremely curious place. 
 
 Tothe westward is ’Frath mawr; or great sand 
 
 upon itis taken a delicious fish, peculiar to the 
 
 coast of Wales, called a Sewin; it is exactly like . 
 
 a trout, and differs from that fish only in its 
 superior flavour: it has been supposed to be a 
 young salmen, but an English writer has clearly 
 proved it a species of itself. Above it, on the hill, 
 are large sand pits; here marine shells have been 
 found at a great depth from the surface ;_ having 
 evidently lain there since the departure of the 
 great and general flood. Near these pits are 
 many large stones, varying in their dimensions, 
 though they all appear to have been brought 
 thither and shaped for building: of them they 
 
 L relate.

relate a story, that it was intended to have origi- 
 nally built the cathedral here ; that it was begun, 
 but that every thing was thrown down and over-- 
 turned in the night which had been erected in the 
 day. After a long continuance of this labour in 
 vain, it was determined ta have people to watch 
 and discover by what means it was done; to 
 whom there appeared a spirit, informing them of 
 the impossibility of their undertaking, and advis- 
 ing them to go and build by the bog, close to the 
 river Allan, where the present cathedral stands. 
 
 The plain on the way to the town is called 
 the Burrows, though probably its original name 
 was Barrows, as there are some tumuli, or artifi- 
 cial mounds of earth, upon it. The word Bar- 
 row comes from the Saxon Byrigh, from which 
 the English word Bury is also derived. Barrows 
 were originally intended for the protection of the 
 remains of the dead, though they have been raised 
 for other purposes. ‘The Druids formed tumuli 
 as depositories of the dead; but they were first 
 - burned, the ashes then placed in an urn, and a hill 
 
 raised over them ; whence urns have been taken. 
 
 Upon 
 
( 75 ) 
 
 Upon the Burrows is said to have been former- 
 _ ly a town called Caer-Lion; supposed to have 
 taken its name from the old Caer-Lyion, or Caer- 
 Lin. Near them is a very large stone, pitched in 
 the ground, called Arthur's stone; it being a 
 custom to ascribe all wonderful objects and effects 
 to that hero : there are no letters upon it, but it 
 has three parallel arched lines, with two parallel 
 perpendicular lines intersecting the arched lines. 
 The bishop of Saint David’s has twelve pence a 
 year for ten acres of land holden by that stone. 
 
 To the south-west, upon the top of a high 
 rock, called Clegr-froyaf, is a spring, influenced 
 by the tide of the sea, though half a mile distant 
 from it; the water is perfectly fresh and sweet, 
 keeps its regular course in ebbing and flowing 
 twice every twenty-four hours; the well being 
 full at high sea, and very low at its ebb. 
 
 To the eastward of the Burrows is Crug-glas- 
 y-ddyfrog, the watery green hillock, supposed 
 once to have been a forest; trees having been 
 found therein, which were imagined to have lain 
 there ever since the flood: it isa common, about 
 
 L2 three 
 
( 7) 
 
 three miles in length, given to the parish by 
 Rhys-ap-Tudor, for the purpose of cutting turf: 
 on it is an immensely high and ponderous stone,, 
 set upright, said to have been placed there to per= 
 petuate an eventful victory; as it was never ne~ 
 glected by any prince to erect sucha trophy on ‘so. 
 memorable an occasion. This stone was called 
 Gromlech, though probably the true etymology 
 of the word was Grymlech, the stone of strength ;, 
 as prodigious strength must have been used to, 
 transport it to its present situation: but all ideas, 
 are lost in wonder how it could be placed in its, 
 erect posture. ‘This place bears the tradition of 
 having been the scene of a desperate contest ; but: 
 between whom, or at what time, is unknown. 
 
 Upon the south end of this common is a large: 
 pool called Donrog, much frequented by — 
 
 fowl! in the winter. 
 
 The wild vegetable productions of St. David's. 
 have no great variety: they used to gather a 
 kind of alga or sea-weed, of which. they made a 
 sort of food, called in Welch Lhavan and in 
 English black butter; being washed.clean, it was. - 
 laid to ferment between two flat stones, then 
 
 shreaded. 
 
( mm 3 
 
 -shreaded ‘small, and kneaded well, like dough, 
 for bread; and afterwards made up into great 
 ‘balls, or rolls, which some ate raw, but others 
 fried with oatmeal and butter ; it was accounted 
 excellent against all distempers of the liver and 
 ‘spleen ; and some affirm that they have been re- 
 heved by it in the sharpest fits of the stone. 
 
 ‘Concerning the town of Saint David's, in its 
 present state, it will not allow of that commend- 
 -ation which could be wished might be bestowed : 
 it evidently has been a place of considerable 
 size; had two weekly markets, on Mondays and 
 ‘Thursdays: four fixed fairs, on Saint David’s day, 
 the day before Christmas Eve, the day before 
 Whitsuntide, and Friday before Easter; and was 
 governed by a mayor, chosen annually. It had 
 five streets; the principal one is High-street, 
 where there is still a stone pillar or cross, with a 
 flight of steps up its base: its situation com- 
 mands a fine view of Saint George’s Channel. 
 Formerly near-the cross stood the market-house, 
 but no vestige of it remains. ‘The other streets 
 were, Saint Nunn’s-street, New-street, Ship- 
 street, and, Pit-street. 
 pee The 
 
( 78 ) 
 
 The air is extremely pure, and the inhabitants 
 are said to live very long, of which there are 
 many existing and monumental proofs. An an- 
 tient author speaks thus of its air: “ Itis very 
 « salubrious, purified by the Irish air blown across 
 “‘ the channel into this part, accounting the cli- 
 «‘ mate, of Ireland to be so pure, and so rarely 
 “* endued from nature, as to be free from all ve-~ 
 “ nemous creatures, and therefore to beget air 
 “‘ less pestiferous than any other country not so 
 « gifted.” .The winters are not so cold as in more 
 inland parts; a consequence of its situation, as 
 Saint David’s lies exposed to the sea every way 
 but in the points of the east. ‘The soil is natu- 
 rally dry, aided by the frequent and tempestuous 
 winds, especially in the winter; which render 
 the air healthy, to sucha degree that, though the 
 population of Saint David's and its vicinity is very 
 considerable, an apothecary could riever live in 
 this place merely by his profession : it Kas, there- 
 _ fore, been found necessary to attach some eccle- 
 siastical preferment to the practice of physic, as 
 an inducement for a medical professor to reside 
 there. Saint David’s does not produce many 
 
 2 trees, 
 
( 79 ) 
 
 trees, and those only flourish that are screened 
 from the blasts of the Atlantic, which have bow- 
 ed the obedient heads of those exposed to them. 
 To the south-west the hedges are in the same 
 direction, and serve to inform the traveller the 
 point he is going to. 
 
 Eastward of Saint David’s about a mile, by the 
 side of Saint Bride’s Bay, isCarnochon, i. e. a heap 
 of stones: upon the side of a bank here resided 
 the compiler of this narrative ; a situation well 
 adapted to a mind softened by sorrow, and a 
 heart filled with anguish—affording the indul- 
 gence of seclusion, yet at the same time the 
 greatest variety of contrasted and enchanting 
 scenes, which may be viewed without the ob- 
 server being scarcely seen or known. It was 
 here that, in pensive moments, meditation pro- 
 duced. the idea, and formed the intention of faith- 
 fully restoring to the use of the public what could 
 ‘be collected by letters, or traditional and visible 
 information, of a place replete with curiosities of 
 great antiquity, and whose antient fame was 
 fast sinking into oblivion. In.the front of this 
 
 delightful spot is. Saint Bride’s Bay, which is 
 generally 
 
( 80~ ) 
 
 generally in a ‘restless state; sometimes with 
 breakers, half concealed among the rolling waves; 
 making an angry and swelling foam; at other 
 times presenting the awful spectacle of a storm, 
 lashing the bold and rugged boundaries: near 
 to their lofty summit the cliffs appear’ distorted 
 by volcanic convulsions—mutilated and thrown 
 ‘into the most irregular shapes—disposed in every 
 direction of stratafication—and interspersed with 
 immense. perforations, made by the constant 
 efforts of the impetuous waves. Inthe bay are 
 taken the fish frequenting other parts’ of the 
 coast; among them is the Seager; a crustaceous 
 fish, supposed to be the Locusta,of the antients; 
 it strongly resembles a shrimp, and is taken ef 
 four and five pounds weight. The bay about 
 Saint David's used formerly to abound with hers 
 rings, which were taken in great numbers) about 
 Michaelmas; but the inhabitants say that, some 
 few years since, the lower Chapter disputed» the 
 right of tithe with the fishermen, and from that 
 time there scarcely have been any taken. The 
 lower class of people say, that the herrings, being 
 much offended at the demand, left the bay in 
 disgust, and never returned. ‘There formerly 
 
 was 
 
( si ) 
 was taken a great quantity of cod. about Saint 
 David's, but all the marks in the bay are lost. 
 
 It is rather straying from the present subject, 
 but I cannot resist a piece of information; as, 
 perhaps, not only individual, but public benefit 
 may result from it: it was communicated to me 
 by Mr. Williams of Trelerwyn, a magistrate of 
 the county, who is now no more. In his early 
 days he remembered vessels catching abundance 
 of that fish, as well as turbot and soles, on a 
 long bank to the north-west of Ramsey island, 
 running north and south; the bearings were the 
 north and south Bishop Rocks, and Trelerwyn- 
 house, opening about a cable’s length from Saint 
 David's head. ‘The directions he gave in regard 
 to trawling on one side during the flood, and 
 the other on the ebb, have totally escaped my re- 
 collection. He attributed the loss of this valu- 
 able branch to the timidity or laziness of the 
 fishermen, as the turbulence of that sea often in- ° 
 
 terrupted their regular pursuit of it. 
 
 On the southern extremity of Carnochon farm 
 are some rich traces of antient fortification; the 
 
 M present’ 
 
(2) 
 
 present plain is Go yards by 100, rendered ims 
 pregnable by nature and art ; about half its width. 
 is crossed by an impassable ditch, formed by 
 nature, of a considerable breadth, with nearly 
 perpendicular sides to the level of the sea; the 
 whole. flanked by four parallel ramparts: at 
 the end of the ditch, under the remainder of 
 the peninsula, is a perforation, sufficiently large 
 to admit a person to walk through the rock; 
 whether it was formed by nature, or by some 
 in search of ore, no one can presume to say; but 
 the latter is not improbable, as the Romans pur- 
 
 sued that study with great avidity. 
 
 At the south extremity of this promontory, 
 many veins of ore are seen running in parallel 
 directions to a great extent; they are much im- 
 pregnated with sulphur, yet, the appearance 
 of gossen upon the rocks,—an earthy, crumbling, 
 ruddy, ochreous stone, like the rust of iron, be- 
 ing the indication of copper,—leaves little doubt 
 that there are sources of wealth in its bowels 
 which offer every prospect of gain to a person 
 conversant in the science of mining, in their 
 search for subterraneous treasure. ‘The property 
 
 is 
 
( 83 ) 
 
 is held under lease from the Bishop to the late 
 Canon Holham deceased, and is renewable every 
 
 seven years. 
 
 On the south-west of the farm at Caer-fai, is 
 found a beautiful red stone, peculiar to that place 3 
 and in the chasms of the rock, lying in yeins, 
 small glittering spars, called Saint David's dia- 
 monds; which are separated with great difficulty 
 from the rock, are very hard, and have a superior 
 lustre, when set, to any of those gems found in 
 
 England. 
 
 Near this place an attempt was made, some 
 few years since, to form a road, for the conveni- 
 ence of procuring sea sand, as manure; in which 
 much money and labour have been wasted; and 
 it now remains to perpetuate the ill design, and 
 worse execution, of a work, which common ob- 
 servation might have shewn nature had in ano- 
 ther place begun: and had what has been so pro- 
 fusely expended, been employed on this natural 
 tract, it might have been made an excellent road, 
 and have rendered great agricultural benefit to 
 Saint David's and its vicinity. 
 
 M.2 To 
 
( 84 ) 
 
 To the east of Carnochon-house is a vale, pre- 
 senting great diversity ; part of it is strewed, in 
 wild confusion, with large fragments of rock; a 
 stream of water, passing through the middle, 
 supplies a mill; after discharging that duty it 
 mingles with the briny flood at Carboodee har- 
 bour. About a mile to the east of the last place 
 is Llandrindion, or Druids’ Church. 
 
 Across this township, running south-east and 
 north-west, is an old Roman military road; re- 
 maining as a monument of British antiquity, in a 
 great measure covered with earth: there is no 
 history of it to determine whether it isa branch 
 of the famous Saint Helen, Helen’s Causeway, 
 formed for the convenience of marching troops 
 with the greatest expedition on any service; or, 
 ' whether it is part of that so formed by Julius 
 Frontinus, about the year 80, leading to Caerleon: 
 as far as it can be traced, it runs in 2 direct line 
 to the north-west, continuing its course over the 
 cliffs to Saint George’s Channel ; in its south-east 
 direction it goes to the brink of the cliff on Saint 
 Bride’s Bay; on the opposite side of the bay it 
 
 continues 
 
( 85 ) 
 continues its direct course into the country, the 
 intervening space being niné miles. 
 
 Tradition says, the bay was formerly all land, 
 and that a forest stood upon it. In the reign of 
 King Henry the Second, after a continuance of 
 violent storms, the sea retired far beyond its usual 
 bounds, unmasked the face of its shores, and dis- 
 closed the trunks of trees in great number, re- 
 sembling a grove in the midst of the sea, and the 
 strokes of the axe appearing yery plain upon them. 
 Whether it has been separated from its parent 
 cliffs by the effect of an earthquake, or caused by 
 the absorption of its foundation into some im- 
 mense cavity or gulph, sapped by subterraneous 
 water, must rest with the antiquary to determine; 
 but the difficulty of working a ship out of the 
 bay, from its great suction, is well known, and 
 
 dreaded by all seamen. 
 
 The form of Octorupium promontory, and its — 
 opposite shore, has been much altered by the ra- 
 vages the sea has made. Pliny computed the 
 distance only 30 miles to Ireland; and in the 
 
 reign 
 
( 86 ) 
 
 reign of Rufus, it was said, “ he could see it so 
 “ distinctly, that he would build a bridge of ships, 
 «« whereby he might walk to that kingdom.”— 
 In consequence of these circumstances of anti- 
 quity, I must beg leave to extend the bounds of 
 my intention, and insert a fac-simile of an antient 
 map, as the face of its present structure is so ma~ 
 
 terially altered : 
 
 Nidus fig

 In the centre of the channel appears an island, 
 called Monapia, but now no knowledge of such a 
 one exists; it is not improbable that the small 
 rocks are the remains of this island. I hope this 
 
 may induce the historian to ascertain the fact, 
 and 
 
( 7 ) 
 
 and the antient bounds of these two singular pro- 
 montories. 
 
 - On the south side of the road in Llandrindion 
 is seen a Druidical altar, entitled to no great de- 
 gree of attention ; and only, as it has been ,used 
 in performing rites of their religion. ‘The road 
 leads to Haverford-west, and it is seriously to be 
 lamented that its bad state renders it both diffi- 
 cult and dangerous, forbidding many to visit it ; 
 still I hope there are some public spirits who 
 have the welfare of this venerable place at heart, 
 and who will, if these obstacles are not removed, — 
 and this mean of communication rendered pas- 
 sable, appeal to the legal mode of enforcing the 
 
 act of parliament. 
 
 At the brow of the hill, beyond Llandrindion, 
 terminates the parish of Saint David’s. I must 
 here beg permission to take my leave, and apolo- 
 gize for this unadorned description; the defects 
 of which must be imputed to a want of that ele- 
 gance of language, not to be expected from one 
 whose life has been devoted to the service of his 
 country, till want of health forbade his being 
 
 longer

 longer useful in her defence. But it is hoped 
 that this attempt to please will stimulate others 
 to the further search of these traces of antient 
 British history and antiquity. Should the. ble- 
 mishes of this tract be veiled by the drapery of 
 -eandour, it will not only make me forget the 
 cause that prompted the undertaking, but esteem 
 - the time passed in collecting these memorials not 
 ill spent: conscious of their possessing no other 
 recommendation than the strictest observance 
 
 of nature, and the best authorities.

 Some Account of the Archbishops, Bishops, 
 - Precentors, Chancellors, Treasurers, and 
 Archdeacons of the See of Saint Dazid’s. 
 
 Our British histories all report, that, on the first 
 planting of Christianity in this island, there were 
 established several Episcopal Sees, and that antiently 
 three of them were Archbishopricks, who had re- 
 spectively Suffragans under them: that of Wales is 
 agreed to be at Caerleon on Usk in Monmouthshire, 
 before the translation of it to Menevia by St. David, 
 whose successors shewed so great.a respect to his 
 memory as to call the place by his name, which it 
 yet retains ; however, the Latin appellation still pre- 
 vails, and the Bishops are to this day most commonly 
 styled Episcopi Menevenses. Whether here were an- 
 tiently Bishops of Menevia, before Saint David's 
 time, I shall not take upon me to dispute; neither 
 will the compass of my small history allow me to ex- 
 patiate on this matter, the following catalogue being 
 designed to be as brief as the subject will permit. 
 However, weare informed, that Elveus, Menevensium 
 
 Episcopus, baptised Saint David, and that he was 
 - nursed in a place called Vetus Rubus, in Welsh, He- 
 nenemew, i. e. Vetus Menevia; and that Gistilia- 
 nus, Episcopus Meneyensis, was Saint David’s uncle. 
 The same author also acquaints us, that St. David 
 
 * love d 
 
it 
 
 ( 132 ) 
 
 loved the city of Menevia above all the monasteries 
 of his diocese, because the Blessed Patrick, who had 
 prophesied of his nativity, had founded it. This St. 
 Patrick died anno 472, in the 111th year of his age, 
 many years before Saint David governed this See. 
 To give a short account of which I now proceed, 
 referring the more curious to what is more particu- 
 larly at large delivered in Godwin de Presulibus, 
 Leland’s Collectanea, Wharton’s Angl. Sacra, &c. 
 from whence, and other authors, I shall extract what 
 I conceive to be chiefly material; giving the reader 
 to understand, that, before Saint David, Dubritius 
 presided over Wales as Archbishop of. Caerleon. 
 Godwin fixes no time for Dubritius’s coming in; but 
 only says, that, waxing old, he resigned his See to 
 St. David, adisciple of his, and dying November 14, 
 522, was buried in the isle of Bardsey, from whence 
 his bones were translated to Llandaff, tho’ elsewhere 
 it is with more probability affirmed that he died 14 
 November 612. As to his successor, David, he was 
 nobly descended, being son of Xantus a prince of 
 Wales, and uncle to King Arthur; was a man very 
 learned, eloquent, and of incredible austerity. Many 
 miracles are said to be wrought by him. He governed 
 this church, according to Godwin, 65 years, and 
 died 1 March 649, being aged 146 years; or, as 
 
 ~ Leland says, 147 years ; though other historians give , 
 
 a very difierent account of the time of his death, 
 some placing it in the year 546, and others a little 
 after the year 609. ‘In some of these accounts we 
 
 are 
 
® 48a) 
 
 are informed he became Bishop anno 519, which if 
 true, and that he continued till after 609, he must 
 have sat 90 years at least, instead of 65, which 
 might agree with his great age: however, be that 
 when it will, it is certain he removed the Archiepiscopal 
 See hither from Caerleon, which place it seeméth he 
 disliked on account of the large concourse of people, 
 which tended to withdraw him from contemplation ; 
 whereunto that he might be more free, he made 
 choice of this place, (notwithstanding its being situ- 
 ated in a very barren soil, being neither furnished 
 with wood, watered with rivers, nor. beautified with 
 meadows, surrounded with rocks, and exposed to 
 vehement winds and tempests.) Wherefore, from 
 him it is that we must date the Archbishops of this 
 See; and so I here begin my account. 
 
 Archbishops of Saint David's. 
 
 1. DAVID, Archbishop of Wales, translated the 
 See hither. He occurs Archbishop, as Giraldus 
 Cambrensis and John Tinmouth affirm, anno 609, 
 and came.in, according to Godwin, anno 577. If 
 it be so, he must have been present at the coming in 
 of Saint Augustine; at which time the seven suffra- 
 gans of the metropolitan of Saint David’s met the 
 said Augustine and his associates, viz. the Bishop of 
 
 Worcester (Wicciorum), Hereford, Llandaff, Llan- 
 Elvy — 
 
Elvy (or St. Asaph), Llanbadern, (in Latin, Pater- 
 nensis, ) a place still’so called near Aberistwith im 
 Cardiganshire; Marganensis, which possibly might 
 be Margam in Glamorganshire ; tho’ these two latter 
 were probably soon after extinguished, and the two 
 first were very early accounted English bishopricks. 
 Concerning those which succeeded St. David in his — 
 metropolitan power hére, our Chronicles have left us 
 little save their names, which being wrote variously, 
 I shall reconcile them as well. as I can in relating 
 their different appellations. 
 
 2. Ceneanc, or Kenanc, called also Kinothus, Is 
 said to have succeeded David, (who was buried in 
 his cathedral-church here.) This Kinothus was first 
 bishop of Lanpatern after him. « 
 
 $. Eliud, who is also called Teleiau, a disciple of 
 St. David, occurs bishop. If he be St. Teliau bishop 
 of Llandaff, whom Godwin says was ever styled Arch- 
 bishop of that place, we may suppose he resided at 
 Llandaff, and that during his time Llandaff had 
 the metropolitan power. After him our authpra. 
 exhibit us this series : 
 
 A. Ceneu. 
 
 5. Morwall. 
 
  6.. Haervnen, or Haernvnen. 
 7. Elwaed. 
 
 8. Gornven. . 
 
 9. Lendivord. In his time’ the church of Saint. 
 David's was burnt by the West Saxons, anno 812; 
 Godwin 
 
 = 
 
f isoery i 
 
 Godwin says anno 810, tho’ I judge it was rather 
 anno 712, in the reign of king Ina. 
 
 10. Gorwyst; or Gorwysc.  ' 
 
 11. Gorgan, or Gugann. 
 
 12. Cledavn, or Eledanc. 
 
 13. Anian, or Amvian. 
 
 14. Elvoed, or Elvdged. 
 
 15. Ethelman, or Ethelemon. 
 
 16. Elance. 
 
 17. Malscoed, or Miailscoit, alias Mailswid. 
 
 18. Sadornven. He died anno 832. 
 
 19. Catellus. 
 
 r 20. Sulhaithnay. 
 
 - 21. Novis. He was made Archbishop anno 841, 
 and died anno 863. (Anglia Sacra, part il. p. 641.) 
 
 992. Ktwall, or Arthwail. 
 
 23. Asser. He was a famous writer, and appointed 
 to this See anno 905, or, as Wharton says, anno 909: 
 but Go dwin says he died anno 906. 
 
 94. Arthwael, or Idwalaun. . 
 
 25. Sampson. This Archbishop, by reason of a 
 contagious sickness in his diocese, retiring to Dole 
 in Bretagne, and taking his pall with him, his suc- 
 cessors, either for want of that, or for some other oc- 
 casion, as Godwin tells us, lost their title of Arch- 
 bishop; but notwithstanding this, all the Welsh 
 Bishops, viz. Llandaff, St. Asaph, and Bangor, re- 
 ceived their consecration from them ‘till Henry the 
 First’s time, when Bishop Bernard, a Norman, not. 
 chosen by the clergy of Wales, according to custom, 
 
 but. 
 
 Mi 
 
( 136 ) 
 
 but forced upon them by the King of England, who 
 had filled almost the whole county of Pembroke with 
 Flemmings, driving out its natives the Welsh by 
 compulsion, yielded an extorted submission to the 
 See of Canterbury, which is to this day exacted. 
 This Sampson died at Dole, and was there buried, as 
 Godwin mentions, tho’ his relicks were afterwards 
 translated to Middleton, Com. Dorset, where was a 
 magnificent abbey, built by King Athelstan, and de- 
 dicated to his honour. 
 
 26. Kucline, or Rueline. 
 
 27. Roderic, or Retherc. 
 
 28. Elguen, or Elguin. 
 
 29. Morbieu; tho’ this person is. not in Godwin, 
 who places ». 
 
 30. Lunerd, or Lumnerd, next after Elgwin. Le- 
 land tells us, in his Collectanea, vol. 1. p. 156, that 
 Ethelredus, Archbishop of Canterbury, (who died 
 anno 889, ) consecrated this Bishop. 
 
 31. Nergu. 
 
 32. Hubert, whom Godwinalso calls Sulhidir, or Sui-. 
 hidw. This person I take to be the same with Luuert, 
 whom Wharton, in his Angl. Sacr. vol. 2, Pp. 648, 
 mentions to die anno 944, tho’ Godwin says he 
 died anno 942. His successor, 
 
 33. Everus, or Enevris, his death is put down by 
 Godwin anno 944, but by Wharton anno 946, x 
 
 34. Morgeneu. ‘This man, as Godwin cites from 
 Giraldus, is reported to have been the first Bishop of 
 St. David’s that presumed to eat flesh, which none 
 
 of 
 
( 137, ) 
 
 of them had done before; for which offence, he sup- 
 poses he was murdered by pirates. 
 
 35, Nathan. | 
 
 36. Jevan. He continued only one day. Leland 
 calls him Johannus. 
 
 37. Augustell, or Arwistal. 
 
 38. Urgeneu, or Morgeneu. In his time, Saint 
 David’s was invaded by the Danes, anno 1000, and 
 this bishop slain. (Wharton’s Anglia Sacra, vol. 2, 
 p- 648.) 
 
 39. Hernun, or Herbin, alias Ervin. He died 
 anno 1039. 
 
 40. Tramerin, or Carmerin. Godwin places his 
 death in 1055. 
 
 Al. Joseph, died anno 1061. 
 
 A2. Bleithud, or Bledud. He died anno 1071, and 
 was succeeded by, 
 
 43. Sulghein. We resigned anno 1076. 
 
 AA. Abraham. He was slain anno 1078 by the 
 Danes, who invaded this city. After which, by the 
 entreaty of the people, 
 
 A5. Sulghein reassumed his pee and died 
 anno 1088, aged 75, as Wharton says. In his time 
 this city was again spoiled, and St. Dayid’s shrine 
 plundered. 
 
 46. Rythmark succeeded, and died about 1100. 
 
 47. Wilfride, or Griffin, died in 1115 or 1116. 
 
 48. Bernard, a Norman, chaplain to K. Henry I, 
 succeeded; authors differ much about the time 
 of his consecration, some placing it Sept. 19, 1115, 
 
 T : and 
 
( 138 ) 
 
 and others in June or July. He quitted his archie- 
 piscopal power to the See of Canterbury, and greatly 
 wasted the revenues of his church. He died about 
 the year 1148, or 1147, as it should rather seem by 
 his successor, 
 
 49. David Fitagerald’s consecration, 14 Cal. 
 Jan. 1147, who was promoted hither from the arch- 
 deaconry of Cardigan. Wharton places his coming 
 into this bishoprick, and his successor’s death, under 
 the year 1149. Hedied 15 days before Whitsun- 
 tide, viz. about May 1176, and was succeeded by, 
 
 50. Peter de Leia, prior of Wenlock, who was con-’ 
 secrated at Canterbury by Gilbert bishop of London, 
 7 Id. November, 1176. His cathedral-church, de- 
 dicated to St. Andrew and St. David, having been 
 ruinated frequently by incursions of the Danes and 
 other pirates, he pulled down anno 1110, and re-edi-° 
 fied a-new, insomuch that he may be said to have 
 built in great part the church that now standeth. — 
 (In his time, 4 Cal. May 1198, died Rhesus, son of | 
 Griffin, Prince of South-Wales, and was buried in 
 this cathedral.) He continued bishop 22 years 8 
 moaths and 15 days, and died anno 1109, though the 
 annals of Tewksbury place his death 16 July 1198. 
 His successor was, anno 1196. 
 
 51. Giraldus Cambrensis, a very learned man; and — 
 a great writer, who is said to have resigned it Nov. 
 10, 1203. Before his election hither, his first pre- 
 ferments were the archdeaconries of St. David’s 
 and Brecknock. He died aged above 70, and was 
 
 : buried 
 
( 139 ) 
 
 buried in thiscathedral.. (I take the defaced monu- 
 ment in the South isle, marked No. 20 in the Ichno- 
 graphy, to have been his; and that the next to it, 
 marked No. 2!, was made for his predecessor Peter 
 de Leia.) Godwin calls this bishop Silvester Giraldus, 
 and says he was born of noble parentage near Tenby 
 in Wales. An account of him and his writings may 
 _ be seen in Bale and Leland de Scriptoribus. ) é 
 52. Geoffry de Henelawe, prior of Lanthony, Vom, 
 Gloucester, was elected the same day his predecessor 
 resigned, viz. Nov. 12, 1203. ‘ He was consecrated 
 in the Octaves of St. Andrew the apostle, by Hubert 
 archbishop of Canterbury, anno 1204, as Wharton 
 tells us from the annals of St. David's, which say 
 nothing of Giraldus, but speak of Geoffry’s succeed- 
 ing Peter, and that the See was vacant six years on. 
 account of a controversy at Rome; which seems 
 very probable, for I find, notwithstanding the canons 
 of St. David’s twice elected Giraldus; alias Silvester, 
 their archdeacon, for their bishop, yet he met with 
 great opposition, because of his challenge of the 
 primateship; and on that account was forced to 
 give it over, as Lelatid says in his character of him 
 among the writers afore-cited. Godwin places Gi- 
 raldus Cambrensis after this Geoffry, and makes him 
 to have continued bishop not a year, and to have 
 died anno 1198: in which he is mistaken, for Geoffry 
 (prior of Lanthony, predecessor to Giraldus, in his 
 account, ) did not die before 1214; in which year he 
 was succeeded by 
 TQ $3. Jore 
 
( 140 } 
 ) 
 
 53. Jorwerth, or Gervase, abbot of Talley in Caer- 
 marthenshire, (though K. John intended to promote 
 Hugh Foliot, archdeacon of Salop, to this See.) In 
 his time the new tower of the church fell down sud- 
 denly into ruins, without hurting any body, in Nov. 
 1220, on the Monday before the Feast of St. Martin. 
 During his government, anno 1225, he founded the 
 Precentorship, and appropriated to his abbey of Tal- 
 ley, two benefices, viz. Mondeylo-vaur, and Lange- 
 vadevaur, and was a great instrumént in making 
 peace between the Flemmings of Pembrokeshire, and 
 Leoline, Prince of Wales, ten years after. He died; 
 _ viz. anno 1229, and was buried in the cathedral, be- 
 tween the choir and altar; as was also his successor. 
 
 54. Anselmus Crassus, or Legross, as may be seen 
 in p. 1%. This Anselm was treasurer of Exeter, and 
 kinsman to William “Earl Marshall and Pembroke. 
 He was consecrated in March 1230, and died anno 
 1248 of grief, as Matthew Paris says. In which 
 year great part of St. David’s church was thrown 
 down by an earthquake, on the 11th Cal. March. 
 ' He was succeeded by 
 
 55. Thomas Wallensis, a Welshman, archdeacon 
 of Lincoln. Leland calls him Valence; but I sup- 
 pose erroncously. (If his name was Valence, he pro- 
 bably was related to William de Valence earl of 
 Pembroke, half brother to King Henry III.) He 
 was nominated to this bishoprick (a miserable poor 
 thing at that time,) anno 1247, for which he for- 
 sook other good preferments, and received consecra- 
 
 - tion 
 
( 141 ) 
 
 tion hereunto 8 Cal. Aug. 1249; however, other 
 accounts place it a year sooner. He and his prede- 
 cessor Anselm gave to the vicars-choral two bene- 
 fices. His death is placed July 11, 1255; but where 
 buried my author informs me not, unless in his 
 own cathedral, -which is very likely; for, by some 
 circumstances, the monument on the left hand, at 
 the entrance of the choir under the rood-loft, may 
 be adjudged to be his, as that opposite to it may of 
 his successor. 
 
 56. Richard de Karrev, or Carrew. He was con- 
 secrated at Rome anno 1256. Three years after 
 which, viz. anno 1259, he founded the office of 
 Treasurer in his cathedral, and was in divers respects 
 a good benefactor to his church, by making a new 
 St. David’s shrine. He died April 1, 1280, and was 
 buried in his own cathedral, near the altar of the 
 holy rood, on the south part. By this description 
 of his tomb, I am satisfied that the. statue next the 
 choir door, on the left hand bishop Gower, described 
 p- 5, must undoubtedly belong to him. Leland 
 also informs us, that his body lay near the altar of 
 the Crucifix. 
 
 57. Thomas Beke, or Becke, canon of St. David's, 
 was elected 3 Nones' of June, and confirmed the day 
 before the Nones of July, and at length conse- 
 erated to this bishoprick, at Lincoln, the day before 
 the Nones of October 1280. In the preceding 
 year, viz. 1279, he (being then Archdeacon of Dor- 
 set), was constituted Treasurer of England. In the 
 
 year 
 
( 142 ) 
 
 year 1287, in the Octaves of St. Martin, he founded. 
 the Chancellorship, and built two colleges, one at 
 Aberguilly in Caermarthenshire for twenty-two 
 prebends, and one at Llandewy-brevy for thirteen 
 prebends. In his time, anno 1284, November 26, 
 
 King Edward the First, with his queen Elianor, came 
 a pilgrimage to St. David’s shrine, as several others 
 of his predecessors, kings of England, had done. 
 This bishop died April 14, 1293, and wassucceeded by 
 
 58. David Martyn, another canon of St. David's, 
 who was elected in June 1293, and had the tempora- 
 lities restored to him October 11 following. He. 
 died March 9, 1327, at his manor of Llandewyo, 
 and was buried in his own church, to which he had 
 been a generous benefactor, in building St. Mary’s 
 chapel at the east end, called also Bishop Martyn’s 
 chapel, where one of the defaced monuments is yet 
 remembered to be his. 
 
 59. Henry Gower, archdeacon of St. David’s, 
 bred up in Merton-college, Oxon, as Godwin tells 
 us, was elected April 21, 1328, and had the tempo- 
 ralities restored to him 26 May following. Leland 
 says that he was Chancellor of England, and that he 
 built the great palace of the Bishops of St. David’s 
 at St. David’s, and good part of the buildings at 
 Lantfey, a manor of the See ; and the castle at Swan- 
 sey, on the site of his own land. He died in 1347, - 
 and was buried in the chapel of St. John in his own 
 cathedral, which he had built for his sepulchre, under 
 
 the rood-loft. 
 60. John 
 
{ “143 4) 
 
 60. John Thoresby, chancellor of England, was 
 consecrated 23d Sept. 1347; two years after which, 
 viz. in 1349, he was translated to Worcester ; and 
 from thence, in three more, to the archbishoprick 
 of York, in which cathedral he was buried. 
 
 61. Reginald Brian, L.L.B. canon of St. David’s, 
 received the spiritualities 15 Cal. Feb. 1349. He was, 
 on his predecessor’s translation to York, removed 
 likewise to Worcester in 1352, where he was buried. 
 In the See of St. David’s, succeeded, 
 
 62. Thomas Fastolf, L.L.D. archdeacon of Wells, 
 ' who received the spiritualities March 29, 1353, and 
 the temporalities June the 4th following. By his 
 will, dated June 9, 1361, and proved Cal. July fol- 
 lowing, he ordered his body to be buried on the right 
 hand of the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in her 
 chapel within his cathedral of St. David’s ; by which, 
 I conclude the monument marked number 30 in the 
 Ichnography, mentioned as a defaced monument, at 
 the upper end of St. Mary’s chapel, above bishop 
 Martyn’s, must undoubtedly have been his. 
 
 63. Adam Houghton, or Hutton, L.L.D. canon of St. 
 David’s, succeeded by papal provision, bya bull dated - 
 11 Cal. Oct. (Sept. 20.) 1361. He died 13 Feb. 1388, 
 and was buried in St. Mary’s chapel in his own cathe- 
 dral. Hewas, onJan. 11,1377, constituted Chancellor 
 of England, which he quitted in the year 1379. During 
 the time he governed this church, he built St. Mary’s 
 College near his cathedral of St. David’s,and endowed 
 
 it 
 
( 144 ) 
 
 it with 1001. per annum, appointing seven Fellows, 
 and an house to each, whom he obliged, upon all 
 Festivals and Sundays, to hear divine service at the 
 cathedral. To this college, John of Gaunt, duke 
 of Lancaster, was a great benefactor, insomuch that 
 he is reckoned a joint-founder. This bishop also 
 made certain statutes to be observed in his church of 
 St. David’s. After his death, the King nominated 
 64. Richard Metford; but his election was set 
 aside by the Pope, who appointed 
 65. John Gilbert, bishop of Hereford, to this See, 
 by his bull dated May 6, 1389. He died in the house 
 of the bishop of Salisbury in London, July 28, 1397, » 
 and was, as I guess, buried in the church of the. 
 Friars Preachers, or White-Friars, which stood near 
 the said bishop’s house ; to which order he formerly 
 belonged. He was twice constituted Treasurer of 
 England, viz. while he was bishop ‘of Hereford, and 
 . again when of St. David’s. 
 66. Goy Mone, or Mohon, keeper of the king’s 
 privy seal, treasurer of England, and treasurer of 
 St. Paul’s, London, received the spiritualities on the . 
 feast of St. Andrew, viz. November 30, 1397. He 
 died 31ft August 1407. He was rector of Bradwell 
 Com. Essex, and Harrow Com. Middlesex, and pre- 
 bendary of Cadington minor, in the Cathedral 
 Church of St. Paul’s, London, before he obtained his 
 greater preferments. . 
 N.B. Mr. Le Neve says, the See was, after patie 
 John Gilbert’s death, vacant-four years, which I 
 conceive 
 
( 145 4) 
 
 conceive a mistake; and that it was only four years 
 before the Pope confirmed Guy Mone’s election. 
 
 67. Henry Chichley, Z.£.D. chancellor of Sarum, 
 and rector of Bryngton, in his native county of 
 Northampton, received the temporalities April 3, 
 9 Hen. IV. 1408, and the spiritualities August 26, 
 1408. Heheld forsometime his other preferments with 
 this bishoprick ; for, on March 11, 1410, in Reping- 
 don bishop of Lincoln’s Register, I find John 
 Morehousé, Priest, presented by William de Ferrers, 
 Lord Groby, to the church of Bryngton, vacant by 
 the resignation of Henry bishop of St. David's. In 
 1414 he was translated to the See of Canterbury. 
 He was the most worthy prelate of his time; and his 
 benefactions in founding All-Souls College, and 
 other singular good works related in his life, written - 
 by Dr. Arthur Duck, &c. will deservedly eternize 
 him. He lies buried at Canterbury, under a most 
 magnificent monument, which in all probability he 
 had erected in his lifetime. 
 
 68, John Ketterich, or Cataricke, (native of Che- 
 shire,) archdeacon of Surrey, was consecrated 5 
 Cal. May 1414. On the first of February follow- 
 ing, he was translated to Lichfield, and from thence 
 to Exeter. He died at Avignon, going to the Pope 
 to get his election to Exeter confirmed, and was thére 
 buried. i ; 
 
 69. Stephen Patrington, §.T.P. a very learned 
 man, the king’s confessor, brought up at Oxford, 
 and for fifteen years provincial of the Carmelites, 
 } U was 
 
 - 
 
( 146 ) 
 
 was consecrated 19th June 1415, at Maidstone. In 
 December 1417, .he was appointed Bishop of Chi+ 
 chester, but died before his removal was perfected, 
 and was buried in the church of the Carmelites, or 
 White-Friars, London. See an account of him in 
 Leland de Scriptoribus, p. 429, 430. 
 
 70. Benedict Nicholls, bishop of Bangor, formerly 
 rector of Staple-bridge com. Wilts, and Conyng- 
 ton com. Hunt. was translated hither by the Pope’s 
 bull dated December 15, 1417. His will as dated 
 June 4, 1433, and was proved 14th August following ; 
 so I suppose he died in July. He lies buried inthis 
 cathedral, but whereabouts I know not, except one 
 of the defaced monuments at the upper end of the 
 South aisle, marked in the Ichnography 26 or 28, be 
 his. : 
 
 71. Thomas Rodeburne, a man of great learning, 
 especially in the mathematicks, chancellor of the 
 University of Oxford, and warden of Merton Col- 
 lege, (the gate-house of which he built, ) archdeacon 
 of Sudbury, (which he exchanged for the deanery of 
 the Collegiate Church of Tamworth, com. Stafford, ) 
 and canon of Sarum, succeeded to this bishoprick. 
 He died anno 1442, 20 Hen. VI. but where sey I 
 find not. 
 
 72. William Lindwood, LE. D. had the socnsbeate 
 ties of this See, vacant by the death of Thomas the 
 last bishop, restored to him August 14, 1442, 20 
 Hen. VI. He died 21st October 1446, and was buried 
 ia St. Stephen’s Chapel at Westminster. He wrote 
 
 ; an 
 
( 147) 
 
 an eminent book of Provincial Constitutions made 
 by the archbishops of Canterbury, from the time of 
 Stephen Langton, unto. Henry Chicheley; under 
 whom he enjoyed the office of Official of the Court 
 of Archers, which he held with the rectory of All- 
 
 hallows, Bread-street, London. 
 73. John Langton, LL. D. canon of London, 
 master of Pembroke-hall,; and chancellor of the 
 University of Cambridge, was consecrated by the 
 Bishop of Lincoln in King’s College Chapel in Cam- 
 bridge, May 7, 1447, and: died within fifteen days 
 after consecration, and was buried, as 1 suppose, at 
 
 Cambridge. | 
 7%. John Delabere, dean of Wells, successor to 
 Bishop Radborne, in the prebendship of Husborne 
 and Burbach, in the church of Sarum, and lord al- 
 moner to the king, was preferred hither by papal 
 provision, 17 Cal. Oct. 1447. Inthe year 1443, he, 
 being then §. T. P. was presented to St. Mary Ab- 
 church rectory in London, but he soon quitted it: 
 Leland says this Delabar, or Dawber, notwithstand- 
 ing he was made Bishop of St. David's, never sawit, 
 but cominitted: the care of his bishoprick to one Grif- 
 fin Nicholas, son to Richard Fitz-Thomas, a stout 
 knight. What became of him, I findnot. Mr. Le 
 Neve supposes he resigned it, and mentions a pardon 
 granted to him, dated Feb: 5, 1461, by K: Hen. VI. 
 then in imptisonment under Edward IV. by which 
 it should seem as if that king had him put out of his 
 Usa bishoprick, 
 
( 148 ) 
 
 bishoprick, or caused him to resign the same, and 
 accept ofa pension; in which he no doubt acquiesced. 
 
 75. Robert Tully, §.T. P. a monk of St. Peter’s 
 Abbey in Gloucester, was preferred hither anno 1460, 
 39 Hen. VI. He obtained license to be consecrated 
 out of the church of Canterbury, Aug. 28, 1460. 
 However, K. Edw. IV. coming to the crown, that 
 prince never gave him possession of the temporali- 
 ties, by the advice of Herbert, chief justice of 
 Wales ; he lived therefore on the spiritualities mostly 
 at Trefdine, a manour of the Bishops of St. David’s, 
 about five miles from St. David’s. He died anno 
 1481, as Mr. Le Neve informs us, though I conclude — 
 it was rather in the preeeding year; and was buried 
 (as appears by Mr. A. Wood, Collections, } at Tyn- 
 bygh, or Tinby, com. Pembroke. During the time 
 he belonged to Gloucester monastery, he became a 
 generous benefactor thereto, by supervising the 
 building of that most beautiful choir and high 
 tower, as appears by two verses yet in being wrote 
 over an arch of the tower at the top of the choir. 
 
 76. Richard Martine, chancellor of the Marches 
 of Wales, archdeacon and prebendary of London, 
 a great favourite of K. Edward the IVth’s, and of 
 the privy council to him, and ambassador into Spain, 
 was consecrated July 1, 1482. He was an extraor- 
 dinary benefactor to the town of Prestein; com. 
 Radnor, (for which he got great privileges, and a’ 
 market, ) and to the choiisters of St. Paul’s Cathe- 
 dral, ‘London, where he was interred before the cru- -

 cifix, near the great north door, on the north side of 
 the church. ytd 
 
 77. Thomas Langton, LL. D. fellow of Pembroke- 
 
 hall, Cambridge, rector of All-hallows Lombard-street, 
 and All-hallows Bread-street, London, was consecra- 
 . ted Bishop of St. David’s, May 21, 1483; from whence 
 he was removed anno 1485, to Salisbury, and thence, 
 in 1493, to Winchester, and had been finally trans- 
 lated to Canterbury; but he died before his translation 
 could be perfected, and was buried in Winchester 
 cathedral, in a neat chapel which he had built. See 
 an account of him in Godwin de Presulibus, p. 295. 
 Anglia Sacra, vol. 1, p. 319, &c. 
 . 78. Andrew is put down as his successor, in Mr. 
 Le Neve, who tells us, that Andrew, bishop of St. 
 David’s, was witness to a deed dated June 25, 1484; 
 which is all he knows of him. 
 
 79. Hugh Pavy, an Oxford man, from a canon- 
 residentiary of Sarum, and archdeacon of Wilts, 
 (which he held in commendam with this bishoprick, ) 
 received the temporalities Sept. 19, 1485. Leland 
 says he was born at Bedminstre near Bristol, com. 
 Somerset, and was there buried. He impropriated 
 Llanfanfrede church to the vicars-choral.. He died 
 anno 1496, and was succeeded by 
 . 80. John Morgan, alias Yong, LL.D. dean of 
 Windsor, and of the college at Leicester, clerk of the 
 king’s hanaper, archdeacon of Caermarthen, and 
 rector of the rich rectory of Hanslape, com. Bucks, 
 (famous for its spire-steeple, the land-mark of all the 
 
 country 
 
( 0 ) 
 
 country about, it being 206 feet in height, built 
 temp. Hen. IV. by Thomas Knight, then rector.) 
 He’ was preferred to this bishoprick, Dee. 5, 1496, 
 having resigned Hanslape the month before ; and diéd, 
 as Godwin says, im the priory of Caermarthen, and 
 was buried in his own catliedral nédr the pulpit; as’ 
 may be seen pi. 3: In his will, which Anthony @ 
 Wood says, in' his Athena Oxon, (of which univer- 
 sity Dr. Morgan was;) he has seen; he ordered al 
 chapel to be made over his grave in the bestemhariner 
 it might be. Leland tells us, in hisCollect. vol. 2; 
 p: 324; that he appropriated to’ the choiristers of St» 
 David’s, Sylyen and. Llanwonen. 
 
 81. Robert Sherborne; archdeacon of eaiea od 
 niaster of the hospital of St. Crosses, Winchester, (art 
 account of whom, and his other preferments, see mm 
 A. Wood’s Athen. Oxon, vol. i, p: 574,) was conse- 
 erated to this See; and received the temporalities 
 April.12; 1505, where he sat not three years before 
 he was translated to Chichester, where lie lies buried. 
 
 82. Edward Vaoghan, LL. D. a Cambridge-man,. 
 (treasurer of Saint Paul’s, London, rector of Saint 
 Matthew’s Friday-street, London, vicar’ of Isling- 
 ton, ) possessed, at different times, of several prebends 
 in that cathedral, was consecrated’ Bishop of Saint 
 David’s, by papal provision, dated June 13, 1509. 
 He was a most public-spirited man, as Leland in+ 
 forms us, by building’a good house near St. Paul’s 
 cathedral for the benefit of his successors, and’ dis 
 
 tributing 500 merks to the poor in London in time 
 ; of. 
 
( 151 ) 
 
 of dearth. He also built the chapel of the Trinity 
 in his church of St. David’s, and St. Justinian’s 
 chapel, about a mile off St. David’s, and repaired the 
 castle of Landhadren, and built a chapel there. In 
 his will, (which I have seen,) dated May 20, 1521, 
 and proved January 28 following, he appoints his 
 body to be buried within the cathedral-church of 
 St. David’s, and gives 201. to the priory of 5t. 
 John the Evangelist in Karmardya, and 40s. to the 
 ‘priory of St. John the Evangelist at Brecknock, and 
 40s. to that of St. Thomas in Haverford-West, and 
 40s. to a Priest to sing six years for him in the 
 Chapel of the Holy Trinity, by him built, in his cathe- 
 dral church of St. David’s. In short, he was one of 
 the greatest benefactors in adorning his cathedral 
 church, as St. David’s ever had, as may be conclud- 
 ed from the foregoing account, page 19, 20, 64. 
 The embellishing the old arms painted on the roof, 
 and putting up divers others, I take to be done en- 
 tirely by his means. 
 83. Richard Rawlins, S.T.P. of Merton college, 
 _ Oxon, was appointed to succeed him by papal pro- 
 vision dated 5 Ides March 1522. The preferments 
 he held before he was translated hither, were, as A. 
 Wood tells us, the sub-deanery of York, archdea- 
 conry of Huntingdon and Cleveland, a canonry in 
 the church of St. Paul’s, and wardenship of Merton’ 
 college, Oxon. He died 18th February 1535, and 
 was the last bishop buried in this cathedral, and in- 
 deed the last person of almost any note, but where- . 
 abouts 
 
( 152 ) 
 
 abouts I cannot ascertain, except it should be under 
 the east window at the upper end of the South aisle, 
 and that the defaced monument, marked number 27, 
 in the Ichnography, be his. During the time that he 
 was bishop, Hen. VIII. converted the dissolved priory, — 
 or house of the Friar-preachers, (calling it by the 
 name of the College of Christ Church,) at Breck- 
 nock, into acollege, (and joined to it the College of 
 Aberguilly,) appointing in this said new college, a 
 precentor, treasurer, chancellor, and 20 prebendaries; 
 out of which number, the Bishop to be always one, 
 and preside over the rest as Dean, as he did at Aber- 
 guilly; which yet continues, though the statutes were 
 new modelled in K. Charles the I.’s time. After ” 
 death, 
 
 84. William Barlow, abbot of Bustleham, or Bi- 
 sham, com. Berks, (which he held in commendam 
 with the bishoprick of St. Asaph, ) was elected to this 
 See, April 10, 1536. He sat here about 13 years, 
 and was hence translated, first to Wells, and after to 
 Chichester, where he lies buried. He was a married 
 man, and remarkable for having five daughters, who 
 were at length matched to five bishops; to provide 
 for whom, he much impoverished this bishoprick ; the 
 very damage he did the episcopal palace of Saint 
 David's, by uncovering the roof for the lucre of the 
 lead, was so considerable, as shewn page 49, from an 
 account taken in Queen Elizabeth’s time, that twelve 
 years revenue of the bishoprick would not then have : 
 
 sufficed to repair it as he found it.

 85. Robert Farrar, a married man, born at Halli- 
 fax in Yorkshire, and at the time of the dissolution 
 of the prior of Nostell, in that his native county, 
 (which he, being a promoter of the Reformation, 
 readily yielded up into the king’s hands, and ob- 
 tained a salary.of 1001. per annum,) succeeded by 
 the interest of the Duke of Somerset to this See, and 
 had the temporalities restored, July 1, 1548; of 
 which he became a most miserable dilapidator, 
 yielding up every thing to craving courtiers. But 
 the fall of his patron, the Duke of Somerset, put a 
 stop to his unworthy measures; and he was deser- 
 vedly imprisoned even in Edward VI.’s reign, by Dr. 
 Tho. Younge the precentor, (afterwards an exile in 
 Germany for his religion, ) and others his canons, for 
 his dishonesty, &c. where he continued the remain- 
 ing part of Edward VI.’s reign; and on Queen Mary’s 
 accession to the Crown, being adjudged an heretick, 
 he was silenced and degraded, and having no friends 
 to intercede for him, was sent into Wales, and being 
 committed to the secular power, was burnt at Caer- 
 marthen, March, 30, 1555, as may be seen at large in 
 Fox’s Book of Martyrs, where are given no less than 
 56 articles exhibited against him, with his answers, 
 though insufficient. Bishop Burnet, in his History of 
 _ the Reformation, says he was a man too rash and 
 indiscreet. 
 
 86. Henry Morgan, LL.D. prebendary of Saint 
 Margaret’s, Leicester, in the church of Lincoln, an 
 Oxford man, was, soon after the deprivation of 
 
 xX Robert 
 
( 154 ) 
 
 Robert Farrar, March 20, 1553, elected Bishop, and 
 received the temporalities April 23, 1554. On the 
 coming of Queen Elizabeth to the crown, he was 
 ejected, anno 1559, for being a devoted son of the 
 Church of Rome; after which he retired to his rela- 
 tions at Wolvercot near Oxford, where he died in 
 December or January that same year, and was buried. 
 In the See of St. David’s, succeeded, 
 
 87. Thomas Young, LL.D, formerly precentor of . 
 this church of St. David's ; he was elected 6th Decem- 
 ber 1559, and received the temporalities 23d March © 
 following ; on the 25th February 1560, he was trans- 
 lated to the archbishoprick of York, where he 
 died and was buried. 
 
 88. Richard Davies, bishop of St. Asaph, was pre- 
 ferred to this See, May 21, 1561: he died in October 
 1581, anno ztat. 80, and was buried at Aberguilly 
 in Caermarthenshire. He was a learned man, and 
 one of the translators of the Bible. The first prefer- 
 ment I find him possessed of, was the vicarage of - 
 Burnham, (near Windsor, ) com. Bucks, towhich he 
 was presented by King Edward VI. anno 1550; but 
 in Queen Mary’s reign he was forced to quit it, (as 
 it seems, for being married.) However, on her death, 
 he-got possession of it again, and held it in com- 
 mendam with his bishoprick of St. Asaph, till his 
 translation hither, as appears by the registers of 
 Lincoln, which inform us, ‘‘ that on Oct. 8, 1551, 
 “‘ John Wright, A. M. was presented by Will. Tilde- 
 
 “* sley, 
 
( 155 ) 
 
 ** sley, to the vicarage of Burnham, vacant by the 
 - ** resignation of Richard lord bishop of St. David's.” 
 
 89. Marmaduke Middleton, bishop of Waterford 
 in Ireland, (to which See he had been preferred, 
 anno i579, from the rectory of Kildare in that king- 
 dom, ) was translated hither, and confirmed Dec. 6, 
 1582; eight years after which, viz. anno 1590, he 
 was deprived, and in about two years time he died 
 on Noy. 30, 1592. Our histories are silent con- 
 cerning the reasons of his deprivation, tho’ doubtless 
 it was for some very extraordinary crimes and mis- 
 demeanors, as we may judge by the rigour of the 
 sentence, which was executed before the high com- 
 Missioners at Lambeth-house, not only by reading it 
 in scriptis, but also by a formal degrading him of his 
 episcopal robes and priestly vestments. Heylin tells 
 us, *‘ that he had refused to answer to his accusa~ 
 ** tions upon oath, but claimed to do it upon honour, 
 “as a peer of the realm; which case being brought 
 “* to the house of lords, he was ordered to do it upon 
 “** oath.” By the best information I can learn, the 
 occasion of this censure was some simoniacal prac- 
 tices he had been guilty of, together with a notori- 
 ous abuse of a charity. He is also charged as if he 
 had a design to alienate some lands of the bishoprick, 
 and settle them on his son Richard, whom he made 
 -archdeacon of Cardigan. 
 
 90. Anthony Rudd, D.D. a Yorkshire-man born, 
 and some time Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, 
 was promoted hither March the 8th1593. _ He re- 
 
 XQ ceived 
 
 / 
 
C 16 4 
 
 ceived consecration at Lambeth, from’ the Arch- 
 bishop of Canterbury, in the presence of the Bishops 
 of Rochester and Worcester, on June 9, 1594. He 
 died, March 7, 1614, and was buried in Slangathan 
 church, com. Caermarthen; in which parish he had 
 purchased a good estate, and built an handsome seat, 
 (which continued in his family for some generations, 
 and was but very lately sold by Sir Rice Rudd, baro- 
 net, descended from him in a direct line.) 
 
 91. Richard Milbourne, D.D. (of Queen’s College 
 in Cambridge, made dean of Rochester anno 1611, ) 
 was elected April 20, 1615, and consecrated at Lam- 
 beth by the Archbishop, in the presence of the 
 Bishops of London, Ely, Rochester, and Lichfield, 
 July 9, 1615. He procured licence from the Arch- 
 bishop to demolish the castle of Llanhadew, com. 
 Pembroke, and the hall, chapel, cellar, and bake- | 
 house at the palace of St. David’s. The licence is 
 dated Feb. 10, 1616, but I suppose it was not put 
 in execution at St. David’s, and that he, aiming at 
 being translated to a better bishoprick, neglected it; 
 tho’ he did not succeed herein, till June 1621, when 
 he was removed to Carlisle; and the most primitive, 
 learned, pious, charitable, and public-spirited per- 
 son of the age. 
 
 _ 92. William Laud, D.D. was constituted Bishop _ 
 in his place, being nominated hereunto by the king, 
 on June 29, 1621, and consecrated Nov. 18. follow- 
 ing by the Bishops of London, Worcester, Oxford, 
 Ely, and Llandaff. Before his election to this See, 
 
 be ‘4 
 
( 157 ) 
 
 “he had enjoyed several ecclesiastical preferments 
 and dignities, as the vicarage of Stamford com. 
 Northampton, North-Kilwarth com. Leicester ; 
 which he exchanged for West-Tilbury, com. Essex ; 
 Cuckstone and Norton, com. Kent; Ibstock, com. 
 Leicester; the archdeaconry of Huntingdon, and 
 prebendary of Bukden in the the church of Lincoln; 
 the deanery of Gloucester, and the rectory of Creek, 
 com. Northampton, (the patronage of which be- 
 longs to St. John’s college in Oxford.) During 
 the time that he sat here, he re-edified the chapel 
 at Aberguilly, and, in memory of his college of St. 
 John Baptist in Oxford, (of which he had been pre- 
 sident, ) dedicated it to that Saint. He likewise re- 
 paired the episcopal palace at Aberguilly, and had 
 done several other benefactions; but he was in about 
 five years time removed to Wells, and from thence 
 soon after to London, and lastly to Canterbury. 
 To give an account of this incomparable Prelate, 
 would require a volume; however, his life being 
 wrote in folio by Dr, Peter Heylin, (who justly styles 
 him our English Cyprian,) and also the history of 
 his life and troubles drawn up by himself during 
 his imprisonment in the Tower of London, being 
 published by that excellent antiquary, Mr. Wharton, 
 in another folio; I need only refer thereto, and to 
 - our histories in general, particularly to the Lord 
 Clarendon, who gives us a large character of his 
 burning zeal for the honour and good of the Church, 
 and also of his courage and integrity in all his ac- 
 
 tions ; 
 
( 18 ) 
 tions ; which being misconstrued by the iniquity’ of 
 the times, and the puritanical or presbyterian faction 
 prevailing, he was, after four years imprisonment, 
 beheaded on Tower-hill, Jan. 10, 1644, and his 
 body buried in the neighbouring church of All- 
 hallows, Barking, with this inscription, as "tis said, 
 engraven on a brass plate, and fastened on his coffin ;

 Whence it was removed to St. John’s college chapel, 
 in 1663, and there deposited on July 24, near the 
 high altar, in a little vault of brick, near unto his 
 successor at London and Canterbury, Archbishop 
 Juxon, lately deceased, who had been there buried 
 the 9th of the said month. That I have been thus 
 long in treating of this most reverend prelate some- 
 what beside my history, I hope I may be excused; I 
 could not but conceive that his having been Bishop 
 here may be deemed an honour to St. David’s. The 
 great example of whose virtue (as several authors 
 
 remark, ) 
 
( 159 ) 
 
 remark, ) shall continue always not only in the minds 
 of men, but in the annals of succeeding ages, with 
 renown and fame; and since his prejudiced enemy 
 ‘could not but confess of him, in his life-time, that 
 let him die when he would, St. Paul’s cathedral 
 would be his monument, and his book against 
 (Popery, which he wrote against the jesuit, ) Fisher, 
 his epitaph; allowance may undoubtedly be given 
 to one who is an admirer of his character, to enlarge 
 thereon so long after his death. 
 
 93. Theophilus Field, of Pembroke-hall in Cam-. 
 bridge, (born in the parish of St. Giles, Cripplegate, 
 London, ) was translated from the See of Llandaff, and 
 elected Bishop here J uly 12, 1627; where he sat 
 till his translation to Hereford, anno 1635; and 
 dying there the next year, was buried in that cathe- 
 dral. Ina is ates thal aed Gy 1654, in- 
 titled, “Cabald Condon, we are told, that, not con- 
 tented with his condition of being Bishop of St. 
 David’s, he wrote, very soon after his promotion, a 
 very mean letter to the Duke of Buckingham, ‘‘ de- 
 ‘¢ siring, by his means, to be translated to another 
 ‘« bishoprick, either Ely or Wells ; and, in that case, 
 «¢ promised to end his life in writing an history of his _

 was consecrated bishop of this See, Feb. 28, 1635, 
 by the Archbishop, in the presence of the Bishops 
 
 of London, Ely, Hereford, and Llandaff. Upon 
 
 July the 9th, anno 1637, the King commanded him, 
 ‘* that neither he or his successors should renew the 
 
 *“ leases of the rectories of Kerry and Glascombe, 
 
 ** now ready to expire, but hold them in demesne.” 
 
 ‘After the rebellion broke out, this Bishop was impri- 
 
 soned and lost all his preferments, and persecuted - 
 from place to place; under which troubles he had no- 
 
 thing but a small temporal estate left to support him. 
 
 ~ He died at Caermarthen, after he had endured many _ 
 miseries, July 1, 1653, and was buried in the colle- 
 
 giate church of Brecknock. See an account of his 
 
 life and death in Lloyd’s memoirs, p. 270, &c. 
 
 Which author having omitted his epitaph, or rather 
 
 given us one which does not belong to him, I here 
 
 exhibit the true one, which is as follows:

 chester, and Lincoln, Nov. 18, 1660. He died Oct .4, 
 1677, in the 86th year of his age, and was buried 
 near his predecessor, Bishop Mainwaring, in thecol- 
 legiate church of Brecknock ; where is a monument 
 erected for him, fixed against the wall over his grave, 
 containing his effigies to the middle, in an episcopal 
 habit, with this inscription in golden letters on a 
 black marble ; -

 Oxon, and vicar of Penbryn in the time of the re- 
 bellion, and on the happy restoration made precen- 
 tor of St. David’s, and rector of Lenheder com. 
 Pembroke, and at length dean of Worcester, ) was 
 nominated Bishop Nov. 19, 1677, and confirmed by 
 the Chapter of Canterbury, on the vacancy of that 
 See; after which, on January 27 following, he was 
 consecrated with William Sancroft archbishop of 
 Canterbury, by the Bishops of London, Salisbury, 
 Peterborough, Rochester, Ely, Exeter, Bristol, and 
 Lincoln; at which time, liberty was given him to 
 keep his deanery in commendam with this bishop- 
 rick. In the year 1683, he was translated to Wor- 
 cester, where he died anno 1689, and was buried in 
 that cathedral, in the north-east corner of the clois- 
 ter, near the foot of the choir-steps, as may be seen 
 in A. Wood, who gives us his epitaph; which being 
 lately renewed, and somewhat different from that

 “March 12, 1685, and was buried in the north aisle of

 tion, he died there, in Jesus College, on the 13th of 
 February following ; whereupon his body was buried 
 in that college chapel, near to the grave of Sir Lionel

 99. Thomas Watson, D. D. (fellow of St. John’s 
 College, Cambridge, and rector of Borough Green 
 in that county,) was consecrate June 26, 1687, by 
 the Archbishop of Canterbury, in the presence of 
 the Bishops of Rochester and Chester. On Aug. 3, 
 1699, he was, for pretended charges of simony, 
 deprived, having been all the time he sat here much 
 maligned, and, not long after his election, intolerably 
 affronted and insulted by the rabble. He is still 
 living, and being an opulent man, has disbursed se- 
 veral sums in charity, and on the public, as may be 
 seen ina book intitled A Large Summary View of 
 the Articles exhibited against him, and the Proofs 
 made thereon, printed in the year 1702, in a volu- 
 minous quarto; which author would have the world 
 
 . to 
 
( 166 ) 
 
 to believe, that this Bishop suffered on account of 
 attempting to oblige his canons of St. David’s, and 
 other his clergy, to residence; and that, had he 
 continued here, he would have expended a great 
 deal for the good of his church. . He instances in 
 some of his charities, viz. in his laying out above 
 6001. in repairing the decayed episcopal palace at 
 
 Aberguilly, and house at Brecknock; and of his. 
 
 having given as much to’his college at St. John’s at 
 Cambridge, to buy livings, 4001. fora charity at Hull, 
 and laid out above 5001. in building and repairing 
 his parsonage-house and church in Cambridgeshire ; 
 into which county, as I am informed, he is eerie 
 and their lives on his fortune. 
 
 i100. George Bell, S.T. B. (born in the ae of 
 Wells, and educated in Exeter College, Oxford, ) 
 was, after a vacancy of five years and eight months, 
 elected March 23, 1704, and consecrated April 25, 
 1705. He died at Abermarly in Caermarthenshire, 
 February 17, 1709, and was buried in the collegiate 
 church at Brecknock, between Bishop Mainwaring 
 _ and Bishop Lucy aforesiad, with this inscription on 
 
 a plain stone laid over him: 
 
 HERE. LYETH THE RIGHT REVEREND 
 FATHER IN GOD, D® GEORGE BVLL, 
 LATE BISHOP OF THIS DIOCESS, WHO 
 WAS EXCELLENTLY LEARNED, PIOUS, : 
 AND CHARITABLE, AND WHO DEPARTED —

 ‘This eminent Prelate was, before his promotion ; 
 hither, possessed of a prebendatyship in the church of 
 Gloucester, and the archdeaconry of Llandaff; both 
 which he resigned to his two sons. The first pre- 
 ferments he enjoyed were all in Gloucestershire, viz. 
 St. George’s near Bristol, Siddington, St.’ Mary’s, 
 and St. Peter’s near Cirencester; but these he quitted 
 on his being presented to Avening-rectory in that 
 county, which he held in commendam with his 
 bishoprick. ‘Concerning the character of this learned 
 Bishop, who was as great a divine as our church has 
 in this age produced, I need not enlarge, it being 
 drawn up by the best of men and Christians, the most 
 incomparable Robert Nelson, Esq. who has obliged 
 the world by the publishing an account of his life 
 and writings. 
 
 101. Philip Bisse, S.T. P. fellow of New College 
 in Oxford, was consecrated: November 19, 1710, 
 and on February 16, 1712, removed to Hereford, 
 and herein succeeded by the present most worthy 
 
 _. bishop. He died September 6, 1721, ‘aged’55. 
 
 102. Adam Ottley, S.T. P.-formerly fellow of Tri- 
 nity-hall in Cambridge, rector of the two portions of 
 Pontesbury near the town of Salop, in the diocese 
 
 of Hereford ; and also of Conde near the'same town, 
 in the diocese of Lichfield; canon-residentiary and 
 archdeacon of Salop, in the church of Hereford 
 aforesaid, who was elected to this See February 28, 
 and consecrated March 15, 1712; ‘and at length, 
 J uly 29, 1713; installed in person at St. David’s ; to 
 whose 
 
-( 168 ) 
 
 whose friendly assistance, and generous encourage- 
 ment, may in a great measure be attributed my pro- 
 ceeding in this undertaking; which I never could 
 have so well completed, without his Lordship’s con- 
 descension in supplying me with several extracts of 
 records made use of in the following catalogue, 
 ‘which he most readily obliged me in: wherefore I 
 beg leave to return all possible acknowledgement, 
 and hope, that other persons, to whom the publica- 
 tion of this work is acceptable, will. do so too. . 
 
 Precentors of St. David's. 
 
 THE precentorship was, as may be collected from 
 an old Statute-book of St. David’s, founded anno 
 1224, (or rather, as the Annales Menevensis in Ang, 
 Sacr. vol. 2. p. 650, inform us, anno 1225, ) by Bishop 
 Gervase, alias Jorwerth, called in Welsh Yerworth, 
 which is still a common christian name in these parts. 
 
 The person enjoying this dignity takes place 
 as the Dean does in other cathedrals, and has ac- 
 cordingly his seat in convocations, &c. and sub- 
 scribes in Chapter next after the bishop, (who is pro- 
 perly dean, and has a stall assigned him on the right 
 hand, at the entrance into the choir, opposite: to 
 which is the precentor’s seat.) Touching those 
 who have enjoyed this office, I have only as vehi dis- 
 covered 24; the first of which is, 
 
 1. Philip: he occurs in the time of Bishop Sacelile 
 
 (successor 
 
( st ) 
 
 (successor to Bishop Jowerth the founder, ) who was 
 ‘made Bishop anno 1230, and was probably the first ; 
 ' nextafter him, I meet with > 
 
 2. Richard, subscribing by this title anno 1259 
 and 1263, in the time of Bishop Ric. Karreu, as does 
 
 3. John Swynese, anno 1217. 
 
 4. Thomas Barry, Precentor of St. David’s, was 
 - witness toa deed anno 1300; after him, anno 1328, 
 
 5. Richard de Sesselwyke occurs; he was elected 
 to this office by Bishop Gower. 
 
 6. David Barret held this place anno 1354; as did 
 
 7. Adam Hoton, or Houghton, 7 Cal. Jan. 1339. 
 ‘He was afterwards advanced to the bishoprick of St. 
 -David’s, anno 1361, (where see more of him:) how- 
 ever he resigned it before his promotion, for 
 
 8. David Ley, who occurs Precentor anno 1352 
 and 1361, in which last year he was nominated one 
 of the executors of Bishop Fastolf’s will. 
 
 9. John Nook, Precentor, was, in the vacancy of 
 this bishoprick, appointed official 3d August 1397, by 
 the Archbishop of Canterbury. He held this office 
 anno 1401, as appears by the deeds of this church ; 
 as did 
 
 10. Thomas Woolasion, anno 1414 and 1418: whe 
 succeeded him, I know not, for I find no more before 
 
 11. John Howel, who subscribed by this title ata 
 Chapter held at St. David's 30th July 1493, and 
 again 15th April 1501. The next I meet with is 
 
 12. Thomas Lioyd. This person, being then LL.B. 
 was admitted, anno 1510, Fellow of All-Souls College 
 
 Z Oxford ; 
 
(wb 7 
 
 Oxford ; and about the year 1523, was Precentor of 
 this cathedral; by which title he subscribed to the 
 King’s supremacy, with the rest of the Chapter, 18th 
 July 1534. He died about the year 1547, as I 
 judge by an inventory of his goods then taken ; and 
 was succeeded by ? 
 
 13. Thomas Young, a Pembrokeshire-man, (Prin- 
 cipal of Broadgate Hall, Oxford, now Pembroke 
 College, ) who being much scandalized at the unwor- 
 thy actions of Robert Ferrar, lately made Bishop of 
 this See, did, with the Chancellor Rowland Meyrick, 
 (afterwards Bishop of Ban gor, temp. Eliz.) and other 
 the canons of St. David's, draw up articles against 
 him; which being proved before the King’s commis- 
 sioners, anno 1549, the said Bishop was imprisoned. 
 On Queen Mary’s coming to the Crown, anno 1553, 
 he fled out of England for his religion, and remained 
 in an obscure condition till Queen Elizabeth’s time; 
 when, returning home, he was, anno 1559, nominated 
 Bishop of this See; and from hence, the next year, 
 translated to York, where he died 6th June 1566. 
 
 14, Morgan Phillips, B.D. Fellow of Oriel College 
 Oxon, was by Queen Mary made Precentor of this 
 church anno 1553, of which he was deprived by 
 Queen Elizabeth anno 1559. See an account of 
 his life in Anthony a Wood afore cited, who tells us, 
 that he died in exile at Douay in Louvain, about 
 the year 1577, losing all his preferments m England 
 for conscience sake. 
 
 15. Thomas Huett occurs Precentor anno 1562, - 
 
 and 
 
( >) 
 
 and continued so in the year 1588; when he was first 
 collated I know not, but I presume it was soon after 
 Morgan Phillips’s resignation; and that he was suc- 
 ceeded by 
 
 16. Roger Gyfforde, who subscribed by this title 
 at a Chapter holden at St. David’s, 8th March 1593: 
 after him, without any date or year, 
 17. Hugh Price -is styled Precentor in Mr. Le 
 Neve’s catalogue: but this, I guess, isa mistake, for 
 Hugh ap Rice, who was treasurer of this church 
 about twenty years before. 
 
 18. Richard Milbourne, S.T.P. was, from this dig- 
 nity, elected Bishop of St. David’s 20th April 1615; 
 
 whereupon 
 19. William Hinton, S.T. P. was collated the same 
 
 day, viz. 20th April 1615 ; on whose death, this pre- 
 ferment being vacant, on 2Ist June 1631, it was 
 
 conferred upon 
 20. Griffin Higgs, S.T. B. rector of Cliff in 
 Kent; and he was collated hereunto the same day, 
 by the gift of Archbishop Laud, by whose interest 
 _he became also Dean of Litchfield, anno 1638; both 
 which preferments he held till he was ejected out of 
 them for his loyalty in the great rebellion, in which 
 he was a considerable sufferer by sequestrations, &c. : 
 so that, retiring to the place of his nativity, > viz. 
 South Stoke, co. Oxon, he spent the remainder f his 
 life in great retiredness; and having given all his 
 substance (he being a single man) to ch:ritable uses, 
 viz. 600/. to found a school at South-Stoke, anu 100/. 
 Z2 to 
 
(12 ) 
 
 to buy lands for the maintenance of the poor of that 
 town, &c. he surrendered up his pious soul to God, 
 16th Dec. 1659, and was buried in the chancel of 
 South-Stoke, (alias Abbat’s-Stoke,) aforesaid, with 
 this inscription on a tablet fixed against the wall :

 21. William Thomas, on the happy restoration, was 
 installed Precentor 28th August 1666. In the year 
 1665, he was made Dean of Worcester; and in 1677, 
 Bishop of this See, and-at length, of Worcester. 
 During the time he sat bishop here, he kept. his 
 
 7 deanery 
 
¢ am 
 
 deanery of Worcester in commendam, and, as I 
 judge, held this precentorship with his deanery ; 
 though, according to Mr. Le Neve, he rong nes: it it

 24. Hugh Powell, A. M. the present worthy Pre- 
 centor, and Rector of Llansanfrayed, com. Breck- 
 nock, installed 20th May 1697; who has been a 
 generous benefactor, by making a very neat house 
 at St. David’s for himself and successors precentors 
 of St. David’s, which is by far the best house in the 
 town. 
 
 Chancellors of St. David's. 
 
 Tus dignity was founded anno 1287, in the octaves 
 of St. Martin, (viz. Nov. 18,) by Bishop Thomas 
 Beck, who, as appears by the following record, 
 founded other offices in this cathedral ; 
 
 ‘ Considerans etiam dictus Thomas unitatem 
 ‘ecclesiz in personarum multitudine; et quod 
 ‘ubi est multitudo in domo Domini plures opor- 
 ‘teat ministrare, ac in ecclesia Menevensi, messis 
 ‘sit multa & operaril pauci sunt inventi, qui in

 *saurarium in eadem: ut sicut adversa membra in 
 ‘ diversis .officiis possint, commodius Domino in 
 “sua ecclesia ministrare; sui succedens prefatus 
 ‘Thomas ad honorem Dei, & augmentum obsequii 
 ‘ divini cancellarium, subdecanum & succentorem, in | 
 “eadem ecclesia ordinavit.’ 
 
 As to the Subdecanus and Succentor, I take the 
 
 first to be the vicar, who is now styled the bishop’s 
  yiear; and the other, viz. the succentor, to have been 
 appointed subordinate to the precentor or chanter, as 
 the first was to the bishop. Both of these have at 
 this day stalls in the cathedral, with their respective 
 titles over them. 
 
 1. Thomas de Gurnay was appointed first Chancel- 
 lor of St. David's, anno 1287. The next I find, is, 
 
 2. John Game, who occurs by this title anno 
 1332. He was succeeded, in or about the year 
 1334, by 
 
 3. John Francoys, to whom 
 
 4. David Bareith, or Baret, probably succeeded, 
 anno 1339. I take this person to have been formerly 
 precentor, and that he quitted it to Adam Hough- 
 ton, canon of St. David’s, anno 1339, to be removed 
 hither. He held this place in the year 1348, and 
 probably a considerable time afterwards; for I meet 
 with no more before 
 
 5. John David, and that not till the year 1401; 
 . at which time he willed, by deed dated December 10, 
 
 | 2A to 
 
( .178 ) 
 
 to John Noke, precentor, and the canons of this 
 church, several pieces of plate for their use. 
 
 6. John Talley is the next I have as yet discovered; - 
 he enjoyed this office anno 1493 and 1501. His | 
 successor, ws® 
 
 7. John Foulke, LL.D. is. the first in Mr. Le 
 Neve’s catalogue; and the only mention he makes of 
 him is, that he died possessed of it, October ¥7th, 
 anno 1509. 
 
 8. William Stradling subscribed to the King’s 
 supremacy by this title 18th July anno 1534, ‘as 
 already mentioned among the precentors; where it is 
 also noted, that n9 
 
 9. Rowland Meyrick, chancellor of this chureh, 
 anno 1549, was one of the persons who drew up the 
 articles against Dr. Robert Ferrar the bishop. He 
 was born, as A. Wood tells us, in the Isle of Angle- 
 sey; was afterwards Principal of New-Inn Hall, 
 Oxford, where he commenced doctor of the civil-law, 
 and at length became chancellor, and canon-residen- 
 tiary of St. David's, and was from thence promoted, 
 anno 1559, 1 Elizabeth, to. the See of Bangor, in 
 which he sat till his death anno 1566. Who was 
 his successor in this chancellorship, I cannot say, for 
 I have found. no one occurring before. 
 
 10. Richard Edwards, who, in the year 1588, on 
 June the 8th, with the rest of the Chapter, attested ‘the - 
 statute-book of this cathedral: 
 
 11. William Aubrey. subscribed. by this title anno - 
 
 1614, 
 
( 179 ) 
 
 1614. I guess he was the same person whom A: 
 Wood mentions to be admitted doctor of the civil 
 law, July 9,. 1597. 
 
 12. Richard Bayly, S. T. B. Chancellor of St. 
 David’s, is said to resign this office anno 1626, and 
 to be succeeded herein by 
 
 13. Rhees Prichad, A. M. September 14, 1626, of 
 whom see an account in A. Wood, who tells us he 
 - was made Chancellor of St. David’s by Bishop Laud, 
 to which the prebend of Lowhaddon is annexed; and 
 that he died at Llanymodifri in Caermarthenshire, 
 where he was born and beneficed, and, as he supposes, 
 was buried. He places his decease in Nov. 1644, 
 in the time of the great rebellion; so we may justly 
 conclude this dignity lay vacant till the year 1660, 
 when the church and monarchy being restored, and 
 Dr. William Lucy nominated to this See, he, as I 
 judge, was soon after preferred to this office. 
 
 14, Richard Lucy, his son, (admitted A. B. of 
 Queen’s College, Oxon. anno 1653,) who dying 
 anno 1689, was buried near his father, Bishop of 
 Brecknock, and herein succeeded by vdeo Lucy, 
 in the collegiate church. 
 
 15. William Needham, S.T.B. the seine worthy 
 Chancellor, (Rector of Alresford in Hampshire, and 
 formerly Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, ) 
 was promoted to this dignity by the gift of Dr. San- 
 croft archbishop of Canterbury, who made it his 
 option. 
 
 2A Treasurers 
 
( iso ) 
 
 Treasurers of St. David's. 
 
 Tuts office was, as we are informed by the statute- 
 book, founded Nov. 12, 1259, (crastino Sancti 
 Martini, ) by Bishop Richard Carreu ; at which time 
 
 1. Philip was appointed first Treasurer. The next 
 I find is 
 
 2. Adam Bareth, in the year 1278; who being 
 preferred to the archdeaconry of Brecknock, 
 
 3. Robert de Haverford, Rector of the church of 
 Lanwenyth, was appointed to succeed him, and 
 accordingly installed, 8 Id. September 1278. This 
 Robert was, anno 1280, made Archdeacon of St. 
 David’s; whereupon 
 
 4. William de Burreche, Canon of this church, 
 was nominated Treasurer. He died 4 Cal. April 1282; 
 _ was succeeded by 
 
 5. John de Barry. After him, 
 
 6. William occurs Treasurer in the statute-book of 
 this church anno 1287, as does 
 
 7. John Cryghovell anno 1334, and 
 
 8. Philip de Crughoweli anno 1339; in — 
 authori ity we also find 
 
 9. Walter de Trefdyn, or Tresdine, anno 1342; and 
 again, anno 1352, after him, I meet with : 
 
 10. William Worth, who is the first in Mr. Le 
 Neve’s catalogue. This person, as he tells us, ex- 
 changed his office, January 29, 1364, with - 
 
 11. David, Canon of Lundewybrevy, for the 
 
 rectory , 
 
( 181 ) 
 
 rectory of the free chapel of Bokingfield and New- 
 ledz, in the diocese of Canterbury; and the said 
 David was admitted pursuant to this exchange. The . 
 next I meet with is 
 
 12. Lewis, -who, being Treasurer anno 1394, peti- 
 tioned the Chapter, on April the 24th, for a pension of 
 2s. and 8d. to be paid to himself and successors by 
 the Chaplains of St. Ismael’s and Llanguner, on ac- 
 count of some relicts they kept. .I find no more till 
 
 13. Owen Pole, in the year 1493, who was repre- 
 sented by his proxy at a Chapter holden in July 30. 
 I take him to be the same with Owen Pole, LL. D. 
 canen of Hereford, tempore ‘Hen. VII. and at 
 length, about the year 1523, Treasurer of that 
 cathedral. 
 
 14. John Lewes subscribed by this title to the 
 King’s supremacy, July 18, 1534, with the rest of the 
 Chapter. By his will, (which I have seen,) proved 
 Noy. 2, 1541, he appointed his body to be buried in 
 St. Catherine’s aisle, within the cathedral church of 
 St. Dayid’s, of which he was Treasurer, and gives 
 61. Gs. 8d. to the repairs of the same. After him 
 I find 
 
 15. Hugh Price, or Aprice, founder of Jesus 
 College, Oxon. styled Treasurer of this church. This 
 person was, in the year 1525, created LL. D. and 
 about the year 1542, constituted one of the first 
 prebendaries of Rochester. He departed this life in 
 August 1574, as appears by his will, possessed of 
 - this dignity, which I presume was next conferred on 
 
 16. Thomas 
 
( 162 ) 
 
 16. Thomas Lloyd, who subscribed by this title at 
 a Chapter holden June 8, 1588. He died (as appears 
 by his monument, the latest now remaining, accord- 
 ing to my account in this cathedral,) the 8th of 
 January 1614, 
 
 Here I am at a loss to adjust the date of the suc- 
 cession of the rest, for I find not whether 
 
 17. William Slatyer, 4s M. who was ejected in 
 the great rebellion, (begun 1641, ) was his immediate 
 successor, or when he came in; neither when 
 
 18. William Owen, (who for some time got 
 _ possession of this office,) was collated; though the 
 times did not suffer him to reap any great benefit 
 from it; for, on the happy Restoration anno 1660, he 
 was put out, as Mr. Le Neve tells us, to make room 
 for the right owner. 
 
 19. William Slatyer, again; on whose death, 
 (which, as I guess, happened not long after, ) Bishop 
 Lucy presented to this dignity his other son 
 
 20. Spencer Lucy, who, anno 1666, took his de- 
 gree of A. M. at Oxford. He died February the 
 9th, 1690, and was buried near his father and 
 brother in the collegiate church at Brecknock,. 
 being succeeded by 
 
 21. Edmund Meyrick, A. M. of Jesus College, 
 Oxon, of which he had been Fellow; and at his death, 
 (which happened in May 1713, at Gloucester, he 
 was buried at Caermarthen,) became a special bene- 
 
 ‘factor. This gentleman was, during his life, pos- 
 sessed of several preferments, as the rectory of Pen- 
 boir, 
 
( 188) 
 
 boir, and vicarage of Langivi, (which he had by 
 gift of the Earl of Carberry, to whom he had been 
 chaplain, ) and the precentorship of Christ’s College 
 in Brecknock. He was the chief instrument in the 
 deprivation of ishop Watson, as you may see in the 
 vindication of that Prelate, being excited hereunto 
 by the Bishop’s refusing him some preferments he 
 farther aimed at, and insisting on his residence on 
 * some of his cures. He was succeeded by 
 
 22. Robert Clavering, A. M. of University Col- 
 lege, Oxon, (since D. D. and Canon of Christ’s. 
 Church, Oxon, and Hebrew Professor of that Uni- 
 versity, ) collated to this dignity, May 30, 1713, by 
 the gift of Dr. Tenison archbishop of Canterbury,. 
 who made his option. - | 
 
 _ Archdeacons of St. David's. 
 
 1. Witram, about 1128. 
 
 2. Giraldvs, (who is the same person with Gzraidus 
 Cambrenis, as I conceive, ) about 1185. 
 
 3. Hugh de Clona anno 1200. He died about 
 ‘the year 1232, in the time of Bishop: Anselm. 
 
 4. Jordan de Trismont, or Tribvs Montibvs, occurs 
 Archdeacon on the Nones of October 1235. 
 
 5. A occurs anno 1239, as does 
 
 6. Richard, anno 1259 and 1263. 
 
 Peter Qvivil was from this dignity, anno 1280; 
 
 preferred 
 
( 184 ) 
 
 preferred to be Bishop of Exeter; in which year he 
 was succeeded by | 
 
 8. Robert de Haverford, Treasurer of St reiaidecrin, 
 who occurs anno 1287. 
 
 9. I. was Archdeacon anno 1307, in which 
 year he was sent to King Edward the I.’s parliament, 
 held at Carlisle. : 
 
 10. Henry de Gower, LE.D. (Canon of* this 
 Church about the year 1314, and Archdeacon about. 
 ten years afterwards,) was from this dignity, 21st 
 April 1328, promoted to the bishdprick of St. 
 David’s ; where see more of him, page 142. 
 
 11, David, Fraonceys occurs Archdeacon, 3 Non. 
 Feb. anno 1332; and again anno 1334, in which 
 year also 
 
 12. Griffin de Tavnton occurs, as does 
 
 13. John Francoys, 6 Cal. June 1342, and again 
 in 1345; after whom, I find mention made of 
 
 14. William de Barry to have been Archdeacon; 
 but I cannot expressly tell the time he lived in, 
 though, I presume, he might be placed here in 
 Edward the III.’s reign; which Prince confirmed 
 to the Archdeacon of St. David’s, and his successors, 
 31 per annum, issuing out of the lands of Alba 
 Landa in Orcailaw and Abercoure. 
 
 15. John Hiot' was Archdeacon anno 1407, and 
 subscribed by this title at a Chapter holden 16th 
 October 1418. 
 
 16. John Thomas resigned this archdeaconry 23d 
 August 1420, on an exchange then made with 
 
 17. Edward 
 
¢ 195 ) 
 
 17. Edward Nicoll, Rector of King’s Rypton; 
 Linc. Dioc. who also exchanged it the same year for 
 the rectory of Hemingford Abbats, with 
 
 18. William Ryley, and he was accordingly col- 
 lated: after him, I meet with no more till 
 
 19. Ricard Sant, who, in his will, proved Feb. 6, 
 1513, styles himself Archdeacon of St. David’s, and 
 appoints his body to be interred in the south cross 
 aisle of this cathedral church. The next him oc- 
 curs, is . 
 
 20. Card. Andras, which person subscribed by 
 this title, with the rest of the Chapter, to the King’s 
 supremacy, July 18, 1534, at which time one John 
 ‘Lunteley wrote himself Archdeacon amongst the rest: 
 of the residentiaries, but whether of Caermarthen 
 or Cardigan I cannot tell,. though I guess the latter; 
 but, not very certain of it, I only put his name in 
 here, and not amongst those of Cardigan. 
 
 21. Richard Hartford, may from Anthony 4 Wood 
 be probably coneluded the next Archdeacon, he in- 
 forming us that he enjoyed this dignity in 1544; 
 and that a good while after he was made Archdeacon 
 of Hereford. 
 
 22. John Pratt was Archdeacon of St. David’s 
 anno 1560; by which title I also find him subscribe 
 anno 1571; when he died I find not, or who suc- 
 ceeded him, unless 
 
 23. Robert Rudd might be promoted soon after 
 the year i600, to this office,. (by gift probably of his 
 father Bishop Rudd, who died anno 1614.) He was 
 
 25 present 
 
( 186 ) 
 
 present in the Convocation holden anno 1622, and 
 was succeeded, after the year 1640, (Wood says about 
 the year 1638,) by 
 
 24. Hugh Lloyd, D.D. Rector of Llanyattocke, 
 who, anno.1660, being preferred to the See of Llan- 
 daff, obtained license to hold this dignity in com- 
 mendam, which he did till his death anno 106% 
 after which, I presume, 
 
 25. George Owen, (made D. D. anno 1674, ) was 
 collated ; he died about Michaelmas 1690, obi was 
 succeeded by 
 
 26. John Mealey, A. M. the present aelagleieogs 
 who has built a good house in St. Dayid’s, at the 
 instigation of his uncle Bishop Watson, who, before 
 his deprivation, intended to reside there himself. 
 During this Bishop’s troubles, one Arnold Bowen 
 got a title from the Crown to this archdeaconry, 
 pretending Mr. Mealey came in by simony, but made 
 nothing of it. This I mention, because Mr. Le 
 Neve has placed A. Bowen among the Archdeacons. 
 
 Archdeacons of Brecknock. 
 
 1. Exzas occurs Archdeacon about the year 1140. 
 
 2. Jordan was Archdeacon between the years 1144. 
 and 1154. 
 
 3. Giraldus de Barry, alias Cambrensis, occurs 
 
 Archdeacon anno 1185. He was, anno 1199, no-- 
 
 . minated 
 
( 187 ) 
 
 minated Bishop of this See, but not consecrated, 
 as I conceive. 
 
 An G , nephew to Bishop Jorwerth, occurs 
 about the year 120A. , 
 5: O- -, Archdeacon of Brecknock, was wit- 
 
 ness to a confirmation of Walter Fitz-Eynam, of the 
 ville of Glascum, granted to the Church of St. 
 David’s, and to Gervase bishop of that See, between 
 the years 1214 and 1229; after him, 
 
 6. Roger de Christchurch occurs anno 1259, to 
 whom probably succeeded 
 
 7. John de Fekeham, who was present at a Chapter 
 holden on the morrow after St. Dennis’s day, 1263. 
 He died anno 1274, and was succeeded by 
 
 8. Henry de Villamlof, on whose decease, which 
 happened anno 1978, 
 
 9. Adam Bareth, Treasurer of this church, was 
 promoted to this archdeaconry; he occurs Arch- 
 deacon to April 1279, and likewise subscribed by 
 that title as principal Proctor of the Chapter of St. 
 David’s anno 1295, as also anno 1302. 
 
 10. Griffin ap Rhees was Archdeacon anno 1345 
 and anno 1358; after him, I find no more till 
 
 11. Robert Montgomery, who, upon April 8, 
 1432, yielded to Bishop Benedict’s proposal, with the 
 consent of the Chapter, to pay them for a daily mass 
 51, ThenextI meet with, is 
 
 12. Richard Gwent, of All-Souls College, Oxon. 
 who was admitted Batchelor of the Canon-Law anno 
 1518, and Doctor of the Civil-Law, 30th June 1524, 
 
 2B2 and 
 
( 188 y 
 
 and about this time Archdeacon of Brecknock. On 
 the 17th April 1534, he was presented to the Rec- 
 tory of St. Peter’s Cheap, and to the Archdeaconry 
 of London, 19th December following. He was also 
 installed Archdeacon of Huntingdon, Prebendary of 
 Totenhall, im the church of St. Paul’s, London, 12th 
 April 1543, but died within few months after. 
 
 As. Thomas Owgan occurs Archdeacon anno 1547, 
 and was, I presume, succeeded by - 
 
 14. William Downham, A. M. admitted Fellow of 
 Magdalen College, Oxon, anno 1544, and at length 
 Chaplain to the Princess Elizabeth, who, when 
 Queen, made him first Canon of Westminster, anno 
 1560; and, amno 1561, preferred him tothe bishop- 
 rick of Chester: upon which he quitted his arch- 
 deaconry, for I find 
 
 15. Walter Jones, A. M. possessed of it in vie 
 as he was also of a prebendship of Westminster anno 
 1568: upon which, I presume, he resigned this arch~ 
 deaconry ; for I find, in the year 1570, 
 
 16. William Blethin, (born in Wales, and educated 
 in New-Inn, or Broadgate’s-Hall, Oxon, and gra- 
 duated in the Civil Law, anno 1562,) held it, who 
 being, on 17th April 1575, consecrated Bishop of 
 Llandaff, obtained leave to keep this preferment in 
 commendam, which he did to his death. He died 
 at his palace of Matherne, co. Monmouth, in Oct.. 
 1590, and was buried in that parish church. After 
 him I find 
 
 _ 17. Andrew Vaen, or Vavghan, subscribed by this 
 title, 
 
{ 139 ) 
 
 title, May 18, 1604. He was probably succeeded 
 by 
 18. Isaac Singleton, A. M. admitted Fellow of 
 All Souls, Oxon, anno 1604; made Prebend of 
 Cadington-major, in the church of St. Paul’s, Lon- 
 don; Chancellor and Archdeacon of Carlisle; which 
 latter preferment he held with this dignity, of which 
 he was possessed anno 1623 and 1642. He died in 
 the year 1643 or 1644, and had for his successor 
 19. William Nicolson, son of Christopher Nicol- 
 son, arich clothier, born at Stratford, near Hadleigh, 
 com. Suffolk, Ist Nov. 1591; made A. M. anno 
 1615, and the same year Chaplain to Henry Earl of 
 Northumberland, and tutor to his son the Lord 
 Percy. On July 3, 1616, he was appointed Master 
 of the free school at Croydon, co. Surry, which he 
 quitted anno 1629, and retired into Wales, having a 
 little before obtained the rectory of Llandillo-vaur, 
 com. Caermarthen, and soon after a canonry of St. 
 David’s, and the archdeaconry of Brecknock; of all 
 which he was deprived in the great rebellion, and so 
 ' forced, for his subsistence, to teach a private school 
 in Caermarthenshire. After the Restoration, by the 
 interest of the Earl of Clarendon, he was preferred to 
 the See of Gloucester, and kept this archdeaconry in 
 ecommendam till his death, 5th Feb. 1671; three 
 days after which, he was buried in a little aisle ad- 
 joining to the Virgin Mary’s Chapel, in the Cathedral. 
 Church at Gloucester. See an account of himin 
 Mr. Nelson’s life of Bishop Bull, and Wood’s Athene. 
 20. Ti- 
 
{ 190 , 
 
 80. Timothy Halton, of Queen’s College, Oxon, 
 was collated to this archdeaconry 8th Feb. 1671, 
 and to that of Oxford anno 1675. On the 7th of 
 April 1677, he was elected Provost of his College} 
 all which preferments he held till his death, which 
 happening July 21, 1704, in Oxford, in the 72d year 
 of his age, he was buried in Queen’s College Chapel, 
 by his own appointment, without any inscription. — 
 
 21. Joseph Stevens, A. M. (son in-law to Bishop 
 
 Bull,) succeeded. He was returned to the Convoea- 
 tion anno 1710; but how long after he survived, I 
 know not, or the time when 
 
 22. Roger Griffith, S.T. B. the present Arch- 
 deacon, was collated; but I guess it was anno 1711. 
 Mr. Le Neve omits J. Stephens, and makes R. 
 Griffith to succeed Dr. Halton anno 1704. 
 
 Archdeacons of Caermarthen. 
 
 1. WVmzram occurs Archdeacon about the year 
 1140, in the time of Bishop Bernard. 
 
 2. O was Archdeacon of Caermarthen, 
 between the years 1204 and 1290. 
 
 3. Tancredus subscribed by this title at a Chapter 
 holden anno 2259 and 1263. Hissuccessor probably 
 might be rh 
 
 4. Mareduc, son of Gurwared, on whose death, 
 which happened in 1283, ” 
 
 5. John 
 
(, 19%! ); 
 
 ' 3. John de Alderby succeeded. ‘This person was 
 in the year 1200 made Bisnpiys of Lincoln. . The next 
 I meet with is 
 
 6. Walter Winter, who was witness to an agree- 
 ment dated 5 Cal. Feb. 1329. After him, 
 
 7. Griffin Caunton, or Taunton, occurs. He was 
 present at some Chapters holden anno 1334 and 1342, 
 and at other intermediate ones; and also held the- 
 archdeaconry of St. David’s, with this, some time. 
 Who was his successor I cannot tell, or when 
 
 8. Edmund de Warham was collated, who is the 
 first in Mr. Le Neve’s catalogue. He enjoyed it 
 anno 1398, and in 1401. 
 
 9. William Pirrye was present at a Chapter holden’ 
 July 18, 1432. ial 
 
 10. John Morgan, LL.D. (then Dean of the 
 Collegiate Church of St. Mary Newark, at Leicester, ) 
 held this dignity anno 1493, and was from thence 
 preferred to be Bishop of this See anno 1496, as is 
 mentioned among the Bishops. His successcr, as I 
 judge, was 
 
 11. Henry Howell; he subscribed by this title at 
 a Chapter held 15th April 1501. I find not his ad- 
 mission, or when 
 
 12. JohnBarlow, A. M. (who was probably son or 
 kinsman to William Barlow, made Bishop of this See 
 anno 1539,) was collated; but he held this dignity - 
 before the year 1547. Itake him to be the same 
 person whom Anthony 4 Wood tells us was deprived ° 
 of the deanery of Worcester, after he had enjoyed it. 
 
 nine 
 
4 
 
 ( 192 ) 
 
 nine years, upon Queen Mary’s accession to the 
 Crown, in the year 1553, when, I guess, he was 
 forced to quit this archdeaconry: for I find 
 
 13. Wiiltam Luson, or Lewson, possessed hereof in 
 the year 1554, and that he so continued till the year 
 1583, when 
 
 14. Meredith Morgan was collated. He died on 
 December 4, 1612. After him I meet with 
 
 15. William Beeley, §.T. B. who was present at 
 the Convocations holden anno 1623and 1640. I pre- 
 sume he died in the great rebellion, and that this 
 archdeaconry, no doubt, continued vacant till the 
 happy Restoration anno 1660, at which time 
 
 16. William Jones was installed August 28, 1660. 
 How long he held it I know not, nor the time of the’ 
 collation of | 
 
 17. Thomas Staynee, S.T. B. of Trinity College, 
 Oxon, (instituted April 6, 1680, to the vicarage of 
 Much Waltham, com. Essex; and September 15, 
 1685, tothe church of St. Ethelburga, London; and 
 afterwards, in 1690, to the vicarage of Christ Church, — 
 London, ) but I find him possessed thereof before the 
 year 1700. He departed this life anno 1707-8, as, 
 appears by the sermon preached at his funeral, and 
 was buried March 3, 1707-8, in'the parish-church of 
 Christ Church aforesaid, being succeeded in this” 
 archdeaconry by 
 
 +18. Edward Tenison, LL.B. the present Arch~ 
 deacon, one of the Prebends of Canterbury, wees was 
 
 installed: November 20, 1708. iy 
 Archdeaeae 
 
ae | 
 
 Archdeacons of Cardigan. 
 
 1. Davip Firzcerarp was from this dignity made 
 Bishop of this See in 1147. 
 
 2. Giraldus is said by some to have held this 
 archdeaconry for a short time, as well as those of St, 
 David’s and Brecknock. 
 
 3. Howell, Archdeacon of Cardigan, was present 
 at a Chapter held anno 1263, as was | 
 
 A. Hugh, anno 1274; and also after him, 
 
 5. John Simons, anno 1305. 
 
 6. Philip Vachan occurs next in my catalogue, in 
 1356 ; as does 
 
 7. Groffin, anno 1360, in a Chapter holden No- 
 ea 28; in which respect 
 
 8. Philip de Caunton occurs 1368; as ar 
 
 9. John ap Pryce, anno 1432, After him I meet 
 with no more till 
 
 10. Thomas ap Howell, who subscribed by this 
 title July 30, 1493, and again, April.15, 1501. This 
 person is the first Mr. Le Neve has discovered; to 
 whose industrious performance I gladly own myself 
 indebted, and that several improvements I have made 
 are owing to his discoveries. After him, as Mr. Le 
 Neve tells us, 
 
 11. Hugh Matthew enjoyed this office, anno 1547; 
 and next after him I find 
 
 12. John Butler, so styled in the Convocation 
 holden Feb, 5, anno 1562; as was 
 2C 13. Lewis 
 
( 194 ) 
 
 13. Lewis Gwynn, in that of 1571. He was suc- 
 _ceeded, as I guess, about the year 1586, by 
 14. Richard Middleton, son of Marmaduke Mid- 
 dleton bishop of St. David's. He enjoyed it anno, 
 1623, but how long after I know not, or when 
 
 15. Thomas Brand, A. M. who held it anno 1640, 
 was collated. I take this person to be the same whom 
 Newcourt mentions to be possessed of the rectory 
 of Leaden-Roding, com. Essex; which being vacant 
 by his death, July 12, anno 1660, Thomas Jackson 
 was presented thereto. , Which account well agrees 
 with the installation of his successor, — 
 
 16. Edward Vaughan, A. M. in this archdeaconry, 
 
 upon October 23, 1660. He died, as I guess, about 
 the year 1671, and was succeeded by. 
 
 17. William Owen, 8S. T. P. on whose death, anno, 
 1680, 
 
 18. John Williams, S. T. B. was collated; of 
 whom I know no more than that he was beneficed in 
 Glamorganshire, and dying before the year 1701, 
 
 19. John Shore, A. M. succeeded. He died 
 Jan. 22, 1713; about six weeks after which, 
 
 20. Owen Evans, A. M. the present Archdeacon, 
 was collated, viz. on Marchthe 5th, the same year. : 
 
 Thus have I (as well as my materials would furnish 
 me,) gone through the seven Dignitaries of the 
 Church of St. Dayid’s ; six of which, by what is here. 
 specified, have yielded some Bishops to this and 
 other Sees. Had it been my good fortune to have 
 
 retrieved 
 
{ 195 ) 
 
 retrieved the names of the other Prebends in any 
 tolerable order, I should gladly have communicated 
 them also; but this I find impossible for me to at- 
 tempt, and wish some omissions, or imperfections, in 
 the above-mentioned catalogue, do not. render it 
 obnoxious to censure: however, I thought it incum- 
 bent on me (having done my best, ) to exhibit it as 
 it is, hoping my endeavours may be accepted, and 
 my conjectures (if in anywise faulty,) pardoned ; 
 for it would have been less excusable to have omitted 
 it, although I could not make this account so com- 
 - plete as I could wish, because six of these seven 
 principal members, as I am informed, constitute the 
 Chapter, and that every one of them (they all being 
 residentiaries, ) has respectively a prebend or canonry 
 annexed to his dignity, and a house in St. David’s 
 belonging thereto, where they ought, by the statutes, 
 ‘to keep a fixed residence. They are yet annually 
 obliged to repair in person to St. David’s, and attend 
 the general audit on St. James’s day, or to be repre- 
 sented by proxy, in order to receive rents, set fines, 
 &c. during which time they keep a a public table by 
 turns, as already observed. 
 
 2CQ The 
 
( 196 ) 
 
 The Diocese of St. David's is of vast Extent, 
 
 and comprehends the entire Counties 
 
 Of Pembroke, which contains, according to Cam- 
 den, 145 parishes, and, amongst these, the 
 Cathedral Church of St: David's 
 
 — Caermarthen, in which are 87 parishes. 
 
 — Cardigan, in which are computed, by the same 
 author, 64 parishes. 
 
 — Brecknock, which has 61 parishes, and all the 
 
 _ whole county of 
 
 Radnor, which numbers 52 parishes, except 
 ‘these 5, viz, Old Radnor, New Radnor, Pres- 
 teign, Knighton, and Norton, and the Chapelry 
 of Michael Church upon Arrow, which belong 
 to the See of Hereford. 
 
 It has also, within the county of Hereford, these . 
 § parishes, (which, as I suppose, include the whole 
 Hundred of Ewias Lacy, ) viz. 
 
 - Ewias Harold, . Liansillo, 
 Clodock, Walterston, alias Walder-. 
 St. Margaret, ston, 
 
 Mich. Church Eskleye, Rowlston, 
 alias Llamhangleeskle, | Dewlace. 
 And in Montgomeryshire, near Newtown, on, the 
 edge of Radnorshire, these 2 parishes, viz. Kerrey 
 and Moughtrey. And as many in Monmouthshire, 
 viz. Cwmyay and Old Castle. And lastly, it includes 
 3 eS b> nie about © 
 
about a fourth part of Glamorganshire, viz. the whale 
 Deanery of Gower, which comprizes the Hundred of 
 Swansey, and part (if not all) of the Hundred of 
 Gevelach, on the edge of Caermarthenshire: In 
 which circuit are about 22 parishes: So that the ' 
 whole number of parishes, according to this com- 
 putation, amounts to 438. All which are distributed 
 in manner following, under the jurisdiction of the 
 four respective Archdeaconries, in subordination to 
 the Bishop, viz. 
 
 To the Archdeacon of St. David's, almost the 
 whole county of Pembroke. 
 
 To the Archdeacon of Caermarthen, most of 
 Caermarthenshire, and part of Glamorgan. 
 
 To the Archdeacon of Cardigan, Cardiganshire, 
 with some parishes in Pembroke and Caermarthen- 
 shire. And, lastly, 
 
 To the Archdeacon of Brecknock, Brecknockshire, 
 Radnorshire, and the 12 out-lying parishes aforesaid, 
 in Hereford, Montgomery, and Monmouthshires. 
 
 The Bishops of St. David’s had within their 
 diocese, in several of these above-mentioned coun- 
 ties, Episcopal Palaces, some of which still belong to 
 the See, though they are all ruinous, even that of 
 Aberguilly, which is the only one at present kept up, 
 being much out of repair. In the statute-book, so 
 often cited in these forty last pages, is an ordination 
 made by Bishop Adam Houghton, which, for as 
 much as it gives us some account of the ancient 
 
 grandeur 
 
( 198 ) 
 
 grandeur these prelates lived in, and how they were 
 obliged 'to leave to their successors in stock, 10 
 ploughs and 79 oxen, on their tillage, belonging to 
 eight of their manor-houses, which they were bound 
 to keep in repair, may not improperly be inserted 
 here, especially since it did not come time enough 
 to be put in any preceding place.
