William Wroth
William Wroth (1576–1641), a minister of the Church of England, is generally credited with the establishment of the first Independent Church in Wales in 1639. From 1617 until 1639 Wroth was Rector of the parish church at Llanvaches in Monmouthshire where his Congregationalist chapel was founded. Life Wroth was raised in Abergavenny, and educated at the University of Oxford. He spent fifteen years at Oxford, where he graduated BA from Christ Church in 1596 and MA in 1605 from Jesus College.

In 1613 he was instead granted the Rectory of Llanfihangel Roggiet, which he held until 1626. He was appo ...
