He devoted himself to the cause of Christ in the great evangelical revivals in England, Wales and America. He was a friend and supporter of John and Charles Wesley, George Whitefield and Howel Harris of Trefeca. He was injured on a preaching tour in South Wales in the autumn of 1740 and died a week after he had spoken to hostile crowds in Hay. He is buried in this churchyard.
