Rowland Prichard

Rowland Huw Prichard (January 14, 1811-January 25, 1887) was a Welsh musician. A native of Graien­yn, near Bala, he lived most of his life in the area, serving for a time as a loom tender's assistant in Holywell, where he died. In 1844 Prichard published "Cyfaill y Can­to­ri­on" ("The Singer's Friend"), a song book intended for children.

Prichard is remembered today as the composer of the hymn tune "Hyfrydol".
