‘The remarkable lives and contributions of Margaret Lloyd George and Ceridwen Peris’
Everyone of course knows about David Lloyd George’s brilliant and controversial career, but his wife Margaret was an exceptionally hardworking and intelligent woman too. She not only supported her husband’s work but was busy promoting temperance, as a town councillor and a campaigner as well as the mother of five children. Listening to the recollections of a family member, Elizabeth George, will provide a different perspective and do justice to her story too.
Shan Robinson is a member of staff at Bangor University Archives and Special Collections which holds a significant archive on Alice Gray Jones, or ‘Ceridwen Peris’, head mistress, temperance worker, author, poet and the editor of the periodical Y Gymraes for almost a quarter of a century. She lived in Y Ffôr near Pwllheli for years and it’s certain that these two pioneering women would have known one another.
