author
A Welsh clergyman writing in the early 1830s, he is known for a forceful appeal on behalf of Welsh speakers living in Chester. His surviving work shows a pastor deeply concerned with language, faith, and the needs of a community far from home.
Little can be confirmed about this author beyond what appears on his 1832 pamphlet and later catalog records. He is listed as Rev. Evan Evans, active 1832, and his known work is A Letter Addressed to the Right Honourable Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., published in Chester in 1832.
In that pamphlet, he identifies himself as chaplain to the Chester Cambrian Society. The book explains the society's purpose and argues for Welsh-language religious instruction for Welsh people living in Chester, showing his strong interest in both pastoral care and the preservation of language and identity.
Because reliable biographical information is scarce, much else about his life remains uncertain. What does come through clearly is his voice: practical, earnest, and committed to making sure Welsh speakers could receive spiritual support in their own language.
