The memorial stands in the cemetery at Rhewl. Emrys ap Iwan. He was born Robert Ambrose Jones in Abergele, Conwy (then in Denbighshire). He was a literary critic and writer on politics and religion. He is often seen as one of the most important forerunners of modern Welsh nationalism. He was ordained a minister in 1884 and then served as a pastor to several churches in Denbighshire, including Rhewl and Ruthin, for the rest of his life. He was a fervent advocate of the Welsh language and of Welsh nationalism and believed in self-government for Wales. He was a prolific writer of newspaper articles in Welsh, three volumes of which were later published, as were two volumes of his sermons.
