Died 1809 | ||
Hugh Bold (1731-1809) was a Welsh lawyer, and a prominent man in the affairs of the borough. From humble beginnings, he became a lawyer's clerk at the Brecon office of John Philipps (of Tre-gaer near Llanfrynach), and (after marrying his daughter) eventually succeeded him in the business. He was also attorney for the Cyfarthfa (and other) iron-works.
He was a well known and respected member of the Methodists, John Wesley wrote of him: ‘I know no attorney to be depended on like him’.
Shortly after the death of his first wife in 1781, he married Dorothy, also a daughter of his previous employer, John Phillips.
He died in February 1809.
