Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion (or Anrhydeddus Gymdeithas y Cymmrodorion) was founded in 1751 as a literary society devoted to the preservation of the Welsh language. It was founded by two brothers, Lewis Morris and Richard Morris, natives of Anglesey. The society has always been notably apolitical, which meant it had more in common with its equivalents in Scotland, than with those in Ireland. The society was originally based in London, and remains so to this day. It has its own publications, and holds lectures, all of which concern the native culture, language and literature of the Welsh.
