0:29:44 > 0:29:48- Rhodri attended an unveiling of - a plaque to honour for this hero.

0:29:56 > 0:30:00- Dr William Price was born in 1800...
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- ..in that direction - at Ty'n y Coed Cae Farm.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09- A plaque was unveiled at the parish - hall in Rudry to celebrate him.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- The plaque isn't hanging on the wall - as I've got it here.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- Why?
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- The answer is long - and complicated...
0:30:21 > 0:30:27- ..but it's apt that William Price - is linked with a dispute.
0:30:28 > 0:30:34- The amazing man was unconventional - in his appearance and beliefs.
0:30:34 > 0:30:42- He was a doctor, a radical - and always controversial.
0:30:42 > 0:30:48- It's apt the plaque that honours - William Price is a cause of dispute.
0:30:48 > 0:30:54- It's all about the ownership - of a piece of land.
0:30:54 > 0:30:59- I'm sure the spirit - of the old doctor is laughing...
0:30:59 > 0:31:05- ..to see the people of his former - village arguing about the plaque.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11- He was obviously influential - in a number of fields.
0:31:11 > 0:31:16- The situation of remembering - William Price in Rudry is uncertain.
0:31:17 > 0:31:23- However, in Llantrisant, - he stands tall.
0:31:23 > 0:31:29- Llantrisant adopted William Price - since he lived here in the 1870s.
0:31:29 > 0:31:37- He had celebrity status but had - a big ego and liked being a showman.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41- His beliefs were more suitable - to our day and age.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45- Welsh biographies describe him - as being an odd man!
0:31:45 > 0:31:50- He supported the Chartists and - fought for people's right to vote.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- He thought people should not smoke, - eat healthily and in cremation...
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- ..and didn't believe in marriage.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03- It's the mindset of our age - as opposed to the Victorian era.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- Price also belonged to one of the - first bardic circles in Pontypridd.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- He tried to establish a folk museum - a century before St Fagans opened...
0:32:12 > 0:32:19- ..but there's obvious reasons - to his controversiality.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24- Price believed that any son - of his would be a Messiah...
0:32:24 > 0:32:30- ..so he gave his first son the name - of Jesus Christ.
0:32:30 > 0:32:37- The baby died at five months and - Price cremated him on his own land.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41- By doing that, - he caused an incredible stir.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46- Price spent the night in the - police station near the castle.
0:32:46 > 0:32:52- A month later, he faced the court - in Cardiff in a massive trial.
0:32:52 > 0:32:57- Arthur Conan Doyle even attended - the trial and wrote about it.
0:32:57 > 0:33:02- Price enjoyed arguing in court and - he went to court and won his case.
0:33:02 > 0:33:09- The judge agreed that cremation - was a healthy and wise practice.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13- He became a great hero in the town.
0:33:13 > 0:33:19- He was cremated in 1893 and his - partner sold tickets to the event...
0:33:19 > 0:33:25- ..to raise money for her and the - family and over 20,000 attended!
0:33:26 > 0:33:31- He was a pioneer and this plaque, - no matter its final destination...
0:33:31 > 0:33:36- ..shows that attitudes - to William Price are changing.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40- It's important to celebrate - the legend not the loon!
0:33:40 > 0:33:46- We've been taught to be ashamed - of people who are different.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50- If it wasn't for Dr William Price, - I wouldn't be here today...
0:33:50 > 0:33:54- ..because he was the family doctor - of my great-grandparents...
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- ..and there was 14 children - in his practice.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- He treated the poor for free...
0:34:01 > 0:34:05- ..and started the idea of paying - the doctor when you were better.
0:34:05 > 0:34:12- No matter where this plaque hangs, - it will be in his home area...
0:34:12 > 0:34:17- ..and an area that should celebrate - and be proud of him.
0:34:19 > 0:34:28- The Rudry residents hope the plaque - finds a permanent home very soon.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- It's quite a story.
0:34:31 > 0:34:38- Dr William Price was the - subject of my first drama.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42- I did a lot of travelling with it.
