Project Gutenberg 2020-05-03 Public domain in the USA. 138 Prichard, J. (John) 1796 1875 Prichard, John An Account of the Ladies of Llangollen Transcribed from the H. Jones edition by David Price "An Account of the Ladies of Llangollen" by J. Prichard is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book recounts the lives of Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Sarah Ponsonby, two Irish women of noble birth who decided to live together in a profound friendship, choosing a life of independence and celibacy over societal expectations of marriage. Their story unfolds against the picturesque backdrop of Llangollen in Wales, where they built a life that emphasized philanthropy, community involvement, and the sincerity of genuine relationships. The narrative primarily focuses on the dynamics of their unique friendship, their escape from conventional life, and the establishment of their dwelling at Plas Newydd, where they created a refuge characterized by charm and beauty. Throughout their lives, the ladies became well-known figures in their local community, extending kindness and support to the less fortunate and forming meaningful connections with surrounding residents. With a rich portrayal of their character traits, particularly their commitment to independence and charity, Prichard paints a vivid picture of their contributions to society and the enduring legacy they left behind after their deaths, reminding us of the power of unwavering companionship.
