Guto Nyth Brân

Griffith Morgan (1700–1737), better known as Guto Nyth Brân (Guto being a diminutive of Griffith and Nyth Brân (English: Crow's Nest) the name of his parents' farm near Porth), was an athlete. Many of Guto's running feats have since become merged with legend, and were disseminated by poets and authors such as I. D. Hooson, who wrote the ballad Guto Nyth Brân. Much of what is known of Guto was recorded by William Thomas (Glanffrwd) in his 1888 book Plwy Llanwynno (Llanwynno Parish).
