Owen Glyndwr, (born about 1359)
a Welsh nationalist leader. He led a rebellion against Henry IV of England, taking the title ‘Prince of Wales’ in 1400, and successfully led the Welsh defence against English invasions in 1400-02, though Wales was reconquered by the English in 1405-13. He gained control of most of the country and established an independent Welsh parliament, but from 1405 onwards suffered repeated defeats at the hands of Prince Henry, later Henry V.
ST DAVID LEWIS, (1616-1679),
is remembered as one of the Catholic Forty Martyrs of England and Wales.
Career as a priest
In 1647 he returned home and, for over thirty years, worked in South Wales, with his base at the Cwm, a hamlet located in Herefordshire, which is sheltered between the high ridges of the Welsh Black Mountains to the west and Malvern Hills to the east. At the Cwm, the Jesuits maintained two remote farmhouses, which also functioned as shelters for hunted Recusant Catholic priests. Lewis used the name Charles Baker.
The priest and martyr was born in Abergavenny, the son of the headmaster of Henry VIII Grammar School. David Lewis was brought up as a Protestant and became a Catholic in Paris as a young man. He studied in Rome where he was ordained as a priest and then became a Jesuit. In 1647, he returned home and, for more than 30 years worked on the Hereford-Monmouthshire border. His great uncle was the noted Catholic monk, Father (David) Augustine Baker, (1575-1641).
Due to anti-Catholic feeling because of Titus Oates' 'Popish plot', David Lewis was arrested at Llantarnam, brought to Abergavenny and imprisoned at Monmouth. He was hanged, drawn and quartered at Usk on August 27, 1679. He was beatified in 1929 and canonised in 1970 by Pope Paul VI as one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales. There is a memorial to St David Lewis in Our Lady and St Michael's RC Church. A plaque marks Gunter House in Cross Street where a secret RC chapel was discovered in 1907 during alterations in an attic room in the right hand gable. The chapel's reredos mural is now on display at Abergavenny Museum.
Dr David Lewis,
lived at Llandewi Rhydderch, and was the vicar's son of St Mary's Priory Church in Abergavenny. He achieved fame by becoming an advisor to Queen Elizabeth I. He held the position of Judge of the High Court of Admiralty and was the first principal of Jesus College, Oxford. His tomb which he designed himself was placed before his death in what is now the Lewis Chapel at the Priory Church. Its decoration refers to the different facets of his life. He is depicted as being dressed in his full robes, and the front panels of the tomb are filled with oak leaves referring to the 'Hearts of Oak' of which ships are built.

Born David Baker at Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, December 9, 1575, his father was William Baker, Steward to Baron Abergavenny, and his mother was a daughter of Lewis ap John (alias Wallis), vicar of Abergavenny. His parents were church papists, meaning that although outwardly they conformed, they remained Catholic by conviction.
He was educated at Christ's Hospital and at Broadgate's Hall, now Pembroke College, Oxford, afterwards becoming a member of Clifford's Inn, and later of the Middle Temple. In 1598 he was made Recorder of Abergavenny.
