Biographical history
John Pughe ('Ioan ap Hu Feddyg'; 1814 or 1815-1874), physician and author, in Chwaen Wen, Anglesey. Having qualified as a doctor in St Thomas's Hospital, London, he spent most of his life thereafter in Aberdyfi. It was he who translated Meddygon Myddfai, The Physicians of Myddfai (ed. John Williams ('Ab Ithel'), Llandovery, 1861). Pughe played a major role within his community, serving as justice of the peace and as a patron of religious and humanitarian events and causes; he established a church of the Plymouth Brethren in the area and preached there. Pughe's brother, David William Pughe (1821-1862) was also a physician, as were four of Pughe's sons. He died in 1874 and was buried at Maethlon Chapel, not far from Aberdyfi.
