| AdminHistory | Mr Thomas Prichard (1846-1920) was a noted antiquary and his keen interest in archaeology led to his collection of important prehistoric implements, which were acquired throughout Anglesey. He was a member of an old family who had lived at Llwydiarth Esgob, Llannerch-y-medd, Anglesey for many generations. His father, Mr Robert Prichard was a solicitor and his son was brought up in his father's profession. He was articled at Reading and returned to Anglesey to assist his father. For many years he was agent for the Bodorgan estate. |
