John Jones (181898), also known as Ioan Bryngwyn Bach and Y Seryddwr, was a Welsh amateur astronomer. He was born at Bryngwyn Bach, Dwyran, Anglesey, and received only an elementary education. From the age of twelve, he worked as a farm labourer, and later in the slate industry. Unusually for someone of his background, he was not only a musician and a poet but proficient in several languages. He is noted mainly for his interest in astronomy: he constructed his own telescopesincluding "Jumbo", reputed to be the first silver-on-glass reflecting telescope in Wales. He died at Bangor in 1898. == Recognition == Jones was praised by Samuel Smiles in his 1884 book ''Men of Invention and Industry''. In 2004, he was voted No. 94 in a poll of 100 Welsh Heroes organised by the BBC.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Jones (Jones Y Seryddwwr) )〕 A plaque in his honour has been erected by Ynys Môn County Council at Brynsiencyn. ==References==
