Edward Anwyl (1786–1857) was a Welsh Wesleyan minister and school teacher.
Early lifeEdit
Born in April 1786 at Ty'nllan, Llanegryn, Merionethshire, his parents were Ann and Owen Anwyl.[1] He attended the school in his hometown until he was about 12 years of age, when he became a farm laborer[2] because his father was dying. From that point, he continued his studies on his own.[3]
CareerEdit
Griffith Hughes of the Wesleyans came to town in 1804 and he joined the church two years later.[2] Anwyl was ordained in 1808, having preached his first sermon earlier in the year.[4] From then until his retirement in 1854 he served in twenty-one successive circuits.[2] For sixteen years, he was the North Wales district chairman.[2][5][6] Described as an "indefatigable" worker, he is reported to have walked 72 miles one Sunday to deliver sermons at three locations.[4]
At some point he had moved to Penrhyndeudraeth and also taught school.[1][3] He died on 23 January 1857 at Holywell.[2][3]
