John Prichard

[1] As diocesan architect of Llandaff, he was involved in the building or restoration of many churches in south Wales.

[3] John Prichard trained as an architect under Thomas Larkins Walker, and as a result was deeply influenced by the ideas of Augustus Pugin; much of his work was in a neo-Gothic style.

[8] Prichard died, unmarried and childless, at the age of 69, and is buried on the south side of the cathedral.

[10] The Prichard Bridge, named after the architect, was built in about 1880 to allow carriages to cross the feeder channel between the River Taff and the Llandaff corn mill.

[13] Prichard also designed Nazareth House, Cardiff, a Catholic almshouse built on land donated by John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute.
