William Williams, known chiefly today for his ‘Observations on the Snowdon Mountains’ (1802), rose from weaver and saddler to become surveyor and agent in the employ of Richard Pennant, Lord Penrhyn, responsible for the development of the great slate quarries in North Wales. He was noted for his meticulous administration, as well as for his abilities in estate and tenancy matters. In retirement Williams pursued his literary interests. ‘Observations on the Snowdon Mountains’ contains folklore and local custom, as well as geology and a pedigree of the Penrhyn family. He was consulted by antiquarians such as Richard Fenton and Sir Richard Colt Hoare. His other writings include a manuscript on herbalism and a volume against Calvinism and the Methodist societies.
