John Pryce

John Pryce (1828 – 15 August 1903) was a Welsh clergyman and writer on church history, who became Dean of Bangor Cathedral.

Life

Pryce was the second son of Hugh Price (all three sons chose to spell the surname "Pryce"). He was educated at Dolgellau grammar school before matriculating at Jesus College, Oxford in 1847. He obtained his B.A. degree in 1851. After his ordination, he was curate of Dolgellau and master of the grammar school from 1851 to 1856 – his elder brother Hugh and his younger brother Shadrach held both these positions at various times. John Pryce was then perpetual curate of Glanogwen (1856 to 1864), vicar of Bangor, Gwynedd (1864 to 1880) and rector of Trefdraeth, Anglesey (1880 to 1902). He was appointed a canon of Bangor Cathedral in 1884 and archdeacon in 1887, before being appointed Dean of Bangor Cathedral in 1902, succeeding Evan Lewis. (Shadrach Pryce was Dean of the cathedral of the neighbouring diocese, St Asaph from 1899 to 1910.)cite web|url=http://wbo.llgc.org.uk/en/s-PRYC-JOH-1828.html|title=Pryce, John (1828–1903), dean of Bangor|last=Jenkins|first=Robert Thomas|work=Welsh Biography Online|publisher=National Library of Wales |accessdate=2008-05-14]
