Overview
A welcome in the hillside for the Moelwyn Hughes family from George Bennett Evans of 'Manod', a farm on the slopes of Plynlimon, the farmhouse made of railway carriages. Bennett Evans was inspired by the ideas of George Stapledon of the Welsh Plant Breeding Station (now IBERS at Aberystwyth University) to 'improve' his upland pastures, his farming life being the subject of BBC TV interviews in 1958 and 1966. Goronwy Moelwyn Hughes had met him when at university in Cambridge.
Goronwy Moelwyn Hughes (1897-1955) was the eldest of six children and achieved first class honours in law at Cambridge. He became a barrister in 1922. He started his political career as a Liberal, standing unsuccessfully in two general elections (in 1929 and 1931). He switched to Labour in 1934 and was unsuccessful as candidate for Cardigan in the 1935 general election. Nothing daunted, he stood at a by-election for Carmarthen in 1941 and won, holding the seat until 1945. He married Louise [Lulu], only child of Frederick Arthur Greer, a judge, who was the son of a Manxman and his wife, the eldest of their fourteen children. Ronw and Lulu had 3 children, two sons, Arthur and Ifan, and a daughter, Robin.
