Hello hanky,

The Official Newton website www.newtown.org.uk refers to the Pryce family ...
"Within the ruins of the once parish church at St Mary's is the resting place of the
Pryce family, founders of Pryce Jones, the world's first ever mail order company."

Pryce Pryce-Jones set up his own flannel business, selling the woollen cloths by post ... www.bbc.co.uk/legacies/work/wales/w_mid/index.shtml
