Priest and poet, RS enjoyed a reputation for being outspoken both in and
out of the pulpit.
Many visitors come to Aberdaron each year, to see for themselves the landscape
and people who influenced his writing so deeply.
There is an exhibition, to commemorate his time as Vicar, in the Church
at Aberdaron.
When he retired he lived, for some years in Rhiw and continued to be seen
regularly taking his walk around Mynydd Penarfynydd.
In St Hywyn's Church you can see a large slate with his poem 'The Other'
reproduced upon it.
