A name with both Welsh and Norman points of origin, ‘Price’ features prominently in the historical record.
• While some of its bearers stamped an indelible mark through their fascination with the romance and allure of Wales’s ancient Celtic past, others have gained fame through a range of other endeavours and pursuits that include the stage, music and literature.
• Steeped in the ancient Welsh bardic tradition of writing and reciting poetry, the Rev Thomas Price, born in 1787 in Radnorshire, was a multi-accomplished antiquarian, historian, essayist, orator, musician, naturalist, educationalist and advocate of pan-Celticism.
