Tom Nefyn, quarryman, soldier, preacher and street corner evangelist was brought up at Bodeilias (occ. spelt Bodeilas), then a 24 acre smallholding. Born in 1895 he worked from a young age in the local granite quarry before serving with the RWFs in Gallipoli and Palestine. Influenced by an army chaplain he entered the Calvinistic Methodist ministry but soon ran into trouble because of his controversial socialist and doctrinal views. Image
