Henry Richard (1812-1888), politician, also known as the 'Apostle of Peace', was born in Tregaron and was apprenticed as a draper before being ordained as a minister in 1835 and thereafter serving all his working life at the Independent chapel in the Old Kent Road, London. Richard was concerned throughout his life with the peace question and in 1848 was appointed secretary of the Peace Society.
