Evan Bevan (1803–1866) was a Welsh writer of satirical verse in the Welsh language.
Life and work
Bevan was born into a poor family: his parents were William and Gwenllian Bevan of Llangynwyd, Glamorgan. As a young adult he moved to Ystradfellte, Brecknockshire and married there Ann Ifan, a butcher's daughter. He later moved to the Pontneathvaughan area.[1]
Bevan gained a mainly local reputation as a writer of satirical verse under the pseudonym Ianto'r Castell,[1] some of which is archived at the National Library of Wales.[2][3][4][5] He died at Pontneathvaughan in October 1866.[1]
