Ven Hywel Jones 1939-2022

The following tribute to Archdeacon Hywel Jones, who has died aged 83, first appeared in the Bro Padarn LMA Newsletter

We all had a great shock on learning of the death of Hywel Jones, Vicar of Llanbadarn Fawr 1979-92 as well as Vicar of Capel Bangor and Goginan
from 1982. He served as Archdeacon of Cardigan between 1990 and 2006. He was also Warden of Readers for twenty years from 1982.

Everyone in Bro Padarn knew ‘the Archdeacon’, and he was always ready to help and use his long experience of service to offer advice when asked,
and sometimes when not!

We extend our sympathies to Anne, his widow and to their children, Matthew and Elin, and the whole family.
Before coming to this area Hywel was a Curate in St. Peter’s, Carmarthen, and then he was appointed Vicar of Cynwyl Gaeo, Llansawel and Talley.
During his time as Archdeacon he also served as Vicar of Llanychaearn with Llanddeiniol.

His funeral will take place on Wednesday 7th September at 1pm in
Llanbadarn Church followed by private committal at the crematorium.
