William Price of Llantrisant (1800–1893) is one of the glorious eccentrics in British history. As well as being a general practitioner (he had a license to practise medicine from the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries) and a surgeon (he was a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England), he was also a druid, a prolific litigant, a vegetarian at a time when that was unusual, and leader of the Chartist Movement in Pontypridd. More controversially still, he was a practitioner of cremation (then illegal) and free love (then beyond thinking about by all right-thinking persons); and for good measure an opponent of vaccination, vivisection, law, government, and orthodox religion. He embodied many of the features of anarchism, without violence.
