-We will also enjoy performances... | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |

-It's a pleasure -having your company once again. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
-Brynsiencyn is just up the road, -we're on the banks of the Menai. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
-Why is this location significant? | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
-John Williams -crossed to Caernarvonshire... | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
-..and the rest of Wales -by steamer ferry from here. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
-It left Tal y Foel -for Victoria Dock in Caernarfon. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
-This was his mode of transport -before acquiring a car. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
-He would walk a mile -from Llwyn Idris, his home. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
-He's probably one of Wales' -greatest religious heroes. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
-Yes, in his formative years, -at least. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
-I'd say he was the most famous -preacher and orator of his day. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
-However, -when the Great War broke out... | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
-..he choose a side and believed -conscientiously in army recruitment. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
-Within a week -of war breaking out in the August... | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-..he was the chief army recruiter -here in Brynsiencyn. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:11 | |
-I look forward to hearing more -about John Williams later. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
-We begin with Arglwydd Iesu Dysg I'm -Gerdded sung to the tune Rhondda. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
-This is Llwyn Idris, the location -of John Williams' former home. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:17 | |
-It was a big house, by all accounts. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:18 | |
-It was a big house, by all accounts. - -Llwyn Idris is still here. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
-John Williams -retired at 52 years old. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
-He was the minister of Prince's Road -Chapel and was very popular. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
-Up to 1,000 people would -listen to him preach in Liverpool. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
-He spent his retirement -at Llwyn Idris. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
-Half the house was built -before he left Bryn for Liverpool. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:40 | |
-I'm not sure how he managed this -but when he returned to Anglesey... | 0:04:40 | 0:04:45 | |
-..he extended the house -and turned it into a mansion... | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
-..with gardens and so on. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
-I'd say he led a comfortable life. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
-When I checked the 1911 Census... | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
-..a staff of five -lived at the house... | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
-..as well as those who worked -outdoors such as the gardener. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
-He also had three maids and -a private teacher for his daughters. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
-He also had a chauffeur -to drive him around in 1911. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
-It was his vocation to travel across -Wales, preaching to the nation. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
-Sometimes he'd preach -for a fortnight at a time. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
-He'd start out from Brynsiencyn -on a Monday... | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
-..and head to Porthmadog, -Dolgellau, on to Machynlleth. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
-He'd reach Pembrokeshire -by the following Sunday... | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
-..and preach every night -and occasional afternoon... | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
-..on his way home. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
-He was a renowned -and popular preacher. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
-When he returned to Llwyn Idris, -he wanted to enjoy life, preach... | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
-..promote his denomination -as he believed strongly in that... | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
-..and dedicate time to his hobbies. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
-He liked shooting, -fishing and woodwork. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
-However, war broke out in 1914 -and life changed. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
-For the Eisteddfod's proclamation -cymanfa ganu at Capel Hyfrydle... | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
-..an united choir was formed... | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
-..of singers from -Cor Esceifiog and Adlais choirs. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
-They will perform the words of -another Anglesey legend, John Elias. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:16 | |
-Ai Am Fy Meiau I -Dioddefodd Iesu Mawr. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
-# My sin, was that the cause | 0:06:31 | 0:06:36 | |
-# That Jesus suffered here | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
-# When love came down -in mighty pow'r | 0:06:41 | 0:06:47 | |
-# And brought God's presence near? | 0:06:47 | 0:06:52 | |
-# Fulfilling law's demands | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
-# Justice was satisfied | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
-# Our crushing debt he paid in full | 0:07:06 | 0:07:12 | |
-# When for our sin he died | 0:07:12 | 0:07:17 | |
-# To death upon the cross | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
-# Obedient he did go | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
-# His blood -will wash the vilest heart | 0:07:31 | 0:07:37 | |
-# Pure as the driven snow | 0:07:37 | 0:07:42 | |
-# 'Twas for our death he died | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
-# By death he sets us free | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
-# And through his blood a multitude | 0:07:53 | 0:08:00 | |
-# Will live eternally | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
-# He bowed his head and died | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
-# "'Tis finished" was his cry | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
-# The veil was rent and opened was | 0:08:16 | 0:08:22 | |
-# Our way to heaven on high | 0:08:22 | 0:08:27 | |
-# He vanquished darkest hell | 0:08:29 | 0:08:35 | |
-# The serpent down he trod | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
-# From prison released a multitude | 0:08:41 | 0:08:47 | |
-# Through grace to live with God | 0:08:47 | 0:08:52 | |
-# He vanquished darkest hell | 0:08:54 | 0:08:59 | |
-# The serpent down he trod | 0:09:00 | 0:09:06 | |
-# From prison released a multitude | 0:09:06 | 0:09:12 | |
-# Through grace to live with God | 0:09:13 | 0:09:18 | |
-# Through grace to live with God # | 0:09:19 | 0:09:30 | |
-We're now standing -outside Horeb, Brynsiencyn. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
-John Williams' father's advice -to him was to ask for two things. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:47 | |
-A clean gun and a dirty Bible. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
-A clean barrel to shoot -a rabbit, hare or pheasant... | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
-..for the kitchen table. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
-And a dirty Bible in the sense -that it had been handled and read. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:59 | |
-The Bible was central -in John Williams' life. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
-His command of Welsh -came from the Bible. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
-He opened the Bible here -on a Sunday night... | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
-..and won over the congregation. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
-There's a story of a man who came -here to listen to him one Sunday. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
-He'd probably worked hard all week -as he was asleep in the beginning. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
-By the end of the sermon, -he was like a dog with a bone. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
-He awoke and listened intently, -digesting it all. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
-By the end -he apparently burst into tears... | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
-..because the sermon -had reached its climax. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
-We're in Capel Seion, Llandrygarn, -in the heart of Anglesey. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
-This plaque tells me -that this is where John Williams... | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
-..preached his final sermon. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
-Yes, approximately a month -before his death. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
-He'd been poorly for only a couple -of weeks before he deteriorated. | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
-He'd been out shooting for the day. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
-He'd walked for 12 hours, -shooting pheasants. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
-By the time he preached his -final sermon he had deteriorated. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
-When was this plaque erected? | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
-It comes as a surprise to me but it -was placed on the pulpit in 1934. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
-The preachers of Anglesey -got together... | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
-..and started fundraising -for this plaque to be erected. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:25 | |
-Those who were kindred spirits and -those who shared the same ideas. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:30 | |
-He was still popular in 1934 -but not universally so. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
-If you were a parent in Llandrygarn -and Llannerch-y-medd... | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
-..who'd lost a son in WWI, -it was a different story. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
-It's ironic that -there's a tablet above the pulpit... | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
-..which commemorates three members -of this chapel who died in WWI. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
-It's very ironic that -one is directly above the other. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:55 | |
-Three men from this small chapel -lost their lives. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
-Unlike this chapel, John Williams -was used to preaching... | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
-..in large buildings -to thousands of people. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
-Yes, it was remarkable. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
-6,000-7,000 people. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:10 | |
-7,000 had turned up to -listen to him preach in Caernarfon. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:15 | |
-Morgan Humphreys, who was -a famous journalist in his day... | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
-..said that John Williams -preached to 7,000. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
-As he preached -he moved his arm from side to side. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
-He claimed that all the congregation -mirrored his movements. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:31 | |
-He had a talent for spreading -the gospel and had great influence. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:36 | |
-Next is a performance. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
-This is Cordia to sing Fel Yr Hydd. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
-# As the deer panteth for the water | 0:15:54 | 0:15:59 | |
-# So my soul longs after you | 0:15:59 | 0:16:05 | |
-# You alone are my heart's desire | 0:16:05 | 0:16:11 | |
-# And I long to worship you | 0:16:11 | 0:16:17 | |
-# You alone -are my strength, my shield | 0:16:18 | 0:16:23 | |
-# To you alone may my spirit yield | 0:16:24 | 0:16:30 | |
-# You alone are my heart's desire | 0:16:31 | 0:16:36 | |
-# And I long to worship you | 0:16:36 | 0:16:43 | |
-# I want you more -than gold or silver | 0:16:49 | 0:16:55 | |
-# Only you can satisfy | 0:16:55 | 0:17:01 | |
-# You alone are the real joy giver | 0:17:01 | 0:17:07 | |
-# And the apple of my eye | 0:17:07 | 0:17:12 | |
-# You alone -are my strength, my shield | 0:17:14 | 0:17:20 | |
-# To you alone may my spirit yield | 0:17:20 | 0:17:26 | |
-# You alone are my heart's desire | 0:17:26 | 0:17:32 | |
-# And I long to worship you | 0:17:32 | 0:17:39 | |
-# You're my friend -and you're my brother | 0:17:45 | 0:17:51 | |
-# Even though you are King | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
-# I love you more than any other | 0:17:57 | 0:18:04 | |
-# So much more than anything | 0:18:04 | 0:18:09 | |
-# You alone -are my strength, my shield | 0:18:10 | 0:18:16 | |
-# To you alone may my spirit yield | 0:18:16 | 0:18:23 | |
-# You alone are my heart's desire | 0:18:24 | 0:18:30 | |
-# And I long to worship you | 0:18:30 | 0:18:37 | |
-# And I long to worship you | 0:18:37 | 0:18:42 | |
-# And I long to worship you # | 0:18:43 | 0:18:53 | |
-We're now at -St Catherine's Church, Llanfaes... | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
-..where John Williams is buried. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
-His grave -is behind my right shoulder. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
-It was his original intention -to be buried in Brynsiencyn. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
-He'd said many a time, "Bury me -in the Bryn with my countrymen." | 0:19:15 | 0:19:20 | |
-But he changed his mind. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
-He chose to be buried, -intentionally, I'd say... | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
-..next to John Elias, his hero. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
-It was a huge funeral, -the biggest Anglesey had ever seen. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
-Whilst travelling -from Brynsiencyn to here... | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
-..the boats on the Menai sailed -at half-mast out of respect... | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
-..like Churchill 40 years later when -the cranes were bowed on the Thames. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
-This is where he's buried. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
-R Williams Parry referred to him -as a gentle saint. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
-It's been a pleasure -spending time with you. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
-Thank you for sharing your knowledge -of John Williams Brynsiencyn. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
-We end with the anthemic -Mawr Oedd Crist Yn Nhragwyddoldeb... | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
-..sung to the hymn tune -Bryn Myrddin. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
-Goodbye from us both. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
