Tai Crynion William Price, Glyn-Taf (1838-1839)

Y Tai Crynion yn Heol Graigyrhelfa, Glyn-taf, a godwyd gan William Price yn 1838 fel porth i amgueddfa gwerin a derwyddaeth arfaethedig a fyddai hefyd yn ysgol i'r tlodion. Ni wireddwyd y cynllun oherwydd prinder arian.

 

Ganed Price yn Nhy'nycoedcae, plwyf Rhydri, sir Fynwy, yn 1800. Cofir amdano fel llysieuwr a noethlymunwr, ac ’roedd yn un o arweinwyr y Siartwyr a'u hymdrechion i ennill hawliau i'r gweithwyr a chodi safonau byw. Yn dilyn methiant y Siartwyr ym 1839, ffoes i Ffrainc

 

Codwyd adeilad crwn mwy o lawer ar ben y bryn fel cartref i'r amgueddfa - pedwar llawr ac wedi ei fwriadu i fod yn wyth - ond gwaetha'r modd, fe'i chwalwyd tua 1950.

The Round Houses in Heol Graigyrhelfa, Glyntaff, by William Price, intended as the entrance to a folk museum and school for the poor. A taller tower on the hill which was also part of the plan, was sadly demolished c.1950.

 

As well as being a doctor, Price was a Chartist leader and an eccentric neo-Druid with strong opinions about many matters, including the equality of rights for all men, the need for Wales to be free from English rule, the benefits of vegetarianism and naturism, and the harm caused by smoking. His actions in burning the body of his deceased baby son led to the legalisation of cremation.
