John Arthur Price


John Arthur Price was educated at Shrewsbury School and Balliol College, Oxford, becoming a barrister. He was committed to Liberal values and firm Anglo Catholic beliefs. This unusual combination in the Wales of the 1890s led him to espouse the cause of Disestablishment issuing the so - called "Bangor Scheme". He wrote well researched articles on T.E. Ellis and Sir Ellis Griffith in 'Welsh Outlook', and 'Hen Atgofion'. His originality is stressed by historians such as Kenneth Morgan.
Arthur Price became Chancellor of the Bangor diocese and lived at Egryn Abbey in Merionethshire, his wife's family home.
