PIONEER OF NONCONFORMITY.' Born at Cynfol, Merionethshire, in 1619, Morgan Llwyd went to school at Wrexham at the age of 15, receiving from the Rev. Walter Cradock, who was curate of Wrexham 1634-35, a spiritual awakening that gave a new direction to his life. After an absence of some time, he returned to the town at the age of twenty-six, after which he preached occasionally in different parts of North-Wales and the borders. A contemporary said of him 'he was extraordinary for his love of his countrymen, to whose service he was entirely devoted. For this be was "eminently qualified, being the deepest, truest Welshman and the most absolute Britsh orator perhaps that ever was in the ministerial function, and this without any hindrance to his English fluency." He was the founder of Nonconformity in Wrexham, and some of the Nonconformist churches in North Wales owed their origin to his zeal. Just when Wales was beginning to realise her debt to him Morgan Llwyd died at the age of forty.
Morgan Llwyd came to prominence during Oliver Cromwell's rule, and wrote about the psychology of spiritual experience. His most influential book was Llyfr y Tri Aderyn ("The Book of the Three Birds") in 1653. This is in the form of a dialogue between an eagle (representing secular authority, particularly Cromwell); a dove (representing the Puritans); and a raven (representing the Anglican establishment).
