Philip Dafydd

Philip Dafydd (c. 1732 – c. 1814) was a Welsh Methodist exhorter, and a poet.

Dafydd lived in the Newcastle Emlyn area, and was by trade a clog maker. Before a local Methodist chapel was built there in 1776, he is known to have held regular society meetings at his own house.

Poetry

The poetical works of Dafydd include elegies on Daniel Rowland (printed in 1797) and William Williams Pantycelyn (printed in 1791).^[1]
